 title: 'A person in a landscape with a small fire or activity'

The primary characteristic of the Kosekin people regarding life and death is their profound 'love of death and dislike of life'[1]. This feeling is described as 'equally strong and perhaps connected with this' to their love of darkness, influencing their entire character and leading to 'passionate self-denial'[1].

Each Kosekin individual 'hates life and longs for death'[1], viewing death as 'the greatest of blessings'[1]. They rejoice at the death of friends, believing they have 'gained the greatest of blessings'[1], and also at the birth of children, as those born will 'one day gain the bliss of death'[1].
