A celebration of life and a traditional funeral have several differences and similarities. They both serve to honor a loved one who has passed, but the way they do so varies between the two. A celebration of life is much more relaxed and focuses on remembering the good times their loved one had when alive. It is very uplifting and helps mourners gain peace and closure. A traditional funeral is more structured and follows a set of tasks that symbolize heaven and religion. The environment of a funeral is more formal and quiet whereas a celebration of life can be more uplifting and energetic.
I mainly believe that the Greek Island Ikaria has such a longer lifespan due to the decrease of stress in their environment. In the video we say many communities gathering together and even dancing with their loved ones in the streets. These people seem so happy and at ease with their life which could definitely explain why their hearts are in better conditions than those who are 20+ years younger than them. These people also display great dietary habits and physical activity. These two alone could contribute to longevity of life immensely. They have access to fresh, locally grown food which is highly more nutritional than the processed foods we have in America.
If you had the opportunity to leave your homeland and move to the Greek Island Ikaria, would you do it?
