Such experience, while potentially terrifying, can also furnish a basis for religious faith or hope of a better future.

The body is at the same time a place where we express duration and/or discontinuity in history, a witness of radical social changes, and a factor of stabilization, but also of the transformation of human life - and therefore an eminent challenge for every human being.
