Halloween or All Saints Day?

All Saints Day or Halloween? Concentration or celebration? Silent commemoration or disco until dawn? Or is it even a pagan day of commemoration of the dead?

No. We will not start a value dispute and antagonism by searching or trying to draw a dividing line between which is better. Because looking for who is right here and who is wrong is pointless.

Because no one is right or wrong. Neither atheists, nor Catholics, nor whites, nor all other "representatives of castes" undeservedly lined up on the shelves.

Or is it right to think not about death, but also about a new life? Maybe life is a school where we all learn. We learn to correctly answer the questions presented to us. If so, shouldn't we light a candle not only in memory of the dead, but also symbolically for ourselves? Because the melting wax symbolizes the body, and the flame symbolizes the spirit.

As Halloween approaches, I think we should both concentrate and celebrate - act as our heart desires. This is true presence - with yourself, with loved ones, living, passed away, happy, sad and angry ones. With all kinds of people.

Let's allow ourselves to be whatever we want. To be ourselves.
Let's let others be who they want to be.
Let's all be whatever they want. Especially when that presence itself doesn't bother anyone.

And if you think about it, then both Halloween and All Saints Day are like dishes that complement each other. The joys of life, which end very soon, and souls depart into the endless, never-ending river of eternal flow.
Let's allow ourselves to be ourselves. Both here and beyond this world...
