We do this to honor your father as the great man he was so great that we can not bear to be apart from him. He will live inside our hearts and the hearts of our descendants forever. May the fire of his soul burn in us all, just as the fires of our ancestors burned in him, so that our people might remain strong and our light might never go out. Without our strength the cold of night will close over all the earth. You, child, now hold the responsibilities and duties of your father inside you. You must honor him and not fail in your duty to your ancestors. You are not alone. You have the strength of your father and all our people inside you. They will strengthen you when you are weak, comfort you when you are filled with sorrow, and sustain you when you have nothing else. Eat little one so that you will not lose your father to the darkness but bring him into your self so he might never be lost.There, that is my best attempt at explaining cannibalism to a child who's father is about to be consumed. Cultures vary so I am assuming one supportive of "positive" cannibalism.</blockquote>
