Growth & Development

Ψ  Thanatology: The study of death.

To die, to sleep--
No more--and by a sleep to day we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep--
To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause.

- William Shakespeare
