death (see also: stone)

• not changing your position, not moving, not being alive.
• being unable to act other than following the forces of nature. (see also: TINA)

Healing the sick, curing the blind, raising the dead probably either refers to death or to the opposite.

poison and injury refer to death, only not quite as successful.

dead : matt {de} -> dull -> adult

The sensible attitude of being thoughtful and calm is represented in a negative way (Logical fallacy: Judgemental language)

deceased : verstorben {de} -> fair + be -> "be fair"

see also: vermögend {de}

corpses : Leichen {de} -> leih' {de} + schön {de} -> borrowing is nice

maybe: police diver -> Polizeitaucher {de} -> please + tauscher {de} + "please barter"

corpse : Leiche {de} -> gleiche {de} -> equals

Corps Diplomatique -> CD -> "sieh' + die" {de}

• -> see them
• -> die {de} -> death
• -> embassy -> empathy

posthumously : posthuman -> "future generations need to be thoroughly dead" -> "You need a very sound understanding of ethics and appreciation for ethics in future"

mortal : more + tall (probably with the implication that the dead are no longer mortal)

immortal : "I'm more tall" -> "failure to die", also homophone to immoral

to hurt so. (verbally) :

• Someone you wouldn't want to hurt is not an adult ^[1], because intelligent adults aren't easily insulted.

^[1] And may be someone you wouldn't want to teach to be an adult either.

[edit] Observations

• Before a soldier kills others he should have a defendable position on higher ground (e.g. on a mountain)
• The dead don't move anymore (don't change their location ^[1])
• The dead move slowly (-> "make well-considered moves"), e.g. Zombies
• The dead rot -> The dead rot ^[2]
• Somebody who is just wounded (-> verwundet {de} -> verwundert {de} ^{[3] [4]}) isn't dead.
• When you are dead you exist only in the past. (see: stone, void)

^[1] oversimplification: Obviously you have to adapt to new challenges sometimes; even when you have a well-considered ethical position you may be forced to refine your position or even change your positon according to new insights.

^[2] polarization and oversimplification, a combination of red and blue (connotation: rational) (e.g. lila) seems a better choice.

^[3] amazed / surprised / bewildered / puzzled / astonished

^[4] Also:

• platt : "platt machen" -> to kill
• platt : "Da bist du platt, was?" {de} -> Now you are flabbergasted?

[edit] Cause of death

You can die from ...

• being shoot with a pi-is-told (pistol).
• being be-om-be-d.
• AIDS (help).
• pestilence (Budapest -> Buddha + pest)
• ra - diation
• being stoned (-> astonished) to death
• being killed by a blast (-> be last)

[edit] Dead people don't grab

Dead people don't ^[1] grab ...

• your attention.
• your money.
• your time.

That's why dead people are near invisible when you live in an amusement park of information which are pushed towards you ^[2], for teenagers the TV can be enough of an amusement park to make this true, for adults a busy working day can have similar results. ^[3]

^[1] or: try to avoid to

^[2] that's why media literacy is so important.

^[3] that's why you might want to strive for a 4 day week, 30 hours week or less and lifelong learning.

[edit] Example

• This is consistent with the observation that AIDS (HIV -> hilf {de} -> help) kills.
• God is dead

[edit] Warning

This metaphor is dangerous. You cannot simply translate everyting from YHVH's language to your language, you first need to know if it is meant to be translated.
