Jenseits

This is a German word for 'beyond' - in other words, 'another world'. Around this time in a year -autumnal and vernal equinox, two times in a year we call them Jenseits, we go to cemetry with a bunch of chrysanthemum to talk to the dead. Then I thought about why we call this time Jenseits. Because the length of day and night is the same, ancient people must have thought this fact leads them to the world of the dead smoothly. From the living to the dead, from this world to another they must have thought that they need a parallel of two different worlds.
