english: Now when I first started asking what happens when we die, the grown-ups around me at the time answered with a typical English mix of awkwardness and half-hearted Christianity, and the phrase I heard most often was that granddad was now "up there looking down on us," and if I should die too, which wouldn't happen of course, then I too would go up there, which made death sound a lot like an existential elevator.
non_english: Kada sam prvi put počeo da postavljam pitanja o tome šta se dešava kada umremo, odrasli oko mene u to vreme odgovarali su tipičnom engleskom mešavinom neprijatnosti i neodlučnog hrišćanstva, a rečenica koju sam najčešće slušao je da je deda sad "tamo negde i gleda dole na nas," i ako bih i ja takođe umro, što se naravno ne bi desilo onda bih i ja otišao tamo gore, što je učinilo da smrt veoma zvuči kao egzistencijalni lift.
