“In our culture, death is taboo.  Depression is taboo.  Sex is taboo.  Death is taboo because our entire culture is built around fear and denial of death and decay.  Depression is taboo because we seek the light and fear the darkness within ourselves.  Sex is taboo because we live in a hyper masculine culture that fetishes penetration – from sending rockets into space to waging war.  We taboo what we don’t want to look at, what we fear, and what makes us uncomfortable, in both ourselves and society.”
