Features: What is called life is the survival and living of this special animal, the human being. Survival is the preservation of life, often believed to be more natural in nature; life, on the other hand, is the activity carried out for survival and development, which is more imbued with social and cultural colors. Humans may not be the only animals with a clear awareness of death (it is said that elephants also have behaviors similar to human funerals), but they are the only ones who can think about and act upon death. Humans can arrange various activities for themselves as the wheel of their life moves forward, helping themselves to survive better, and thus also enriching their lives with a variety of experiences. Life Rites (the anthropological term for life rituals is "life ceremonies," but since the term "rites and customs" is more easily accepted by the general public, the book title uses "Life Rites and Customs") is one of the activities humans arrange to give their lives meaning and value.
