Abstract

Telling one's story itself brings purpose to ones life, and it is an essential part of coming to grips with death. The book of Ecclesiastes and Warren Zevon’s album The Wind express the hope for social immortality rather than an actual afterlife. Both of them are suffused with a sense of death-awareness, although their location in time and place and the genre of their expressions are quite different. By looking closely at these texts, one is able to ascertain certain aspects of life review which are necessary for wholeness and completion.
