Halloween is here.

I've always wondered where this strange holiday comes from, whose meaning has spread around the world, including our beloved hometown, and here we are, a third of the way through the month, and already there are signs and vestiges of this celebration.

A beautiful image of a carriage with skeletons and cobwebs evokes death and horror. Many of us have feared skulls for centuries without thinking that we're carrying one with us from birth to death. It's ironic that we fear something that's part of our life. This fear especially affects children, but as we grow older, we lose respect for death, and it becomes like a close friend that's getting closer and closer.

When I see images like this, I think that soon that being that we all have, which we celebrate on Halloween, will be part of our lives outside of our skin. It's the one that protects our entire system and is an integral part of our life.

So the next time someone tells you, "Oh, I'm scared of death or a skull," tell them, "Why be scared if you're carrying one with you and sleeping with it? There's nothing to fear." If a skull appears to you, take out yours, and you'll see they'll start talking. Maybe they'll even invite you for a drink or a cup of coffee. There's nothing to fear.

Let's live Halloween the best way we can."
