'Familiarity breeds contempt'
This means that the more you know something or someone, the more you start to find faults and dislike things about it or them and even ignore what you know to be the true.... We have become so familiar with death. And in a sinistral kind of way we entertain our selves with death. Death is suppose to show us how hopeless the end is without CHRIST. "There were present at that season some that told JESUS of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:1-5 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
