More than 2,400 years ago, Socrates said, “The hottest love has the coldest end.”
Which kind of makes you wonder: Could Socrates have benefited from the services of Death Bear?
It turns out that a lot of people are identifying with Death Bear in a big way, especially as the romantic trappings of Valentine’s Day close in all around them. You see, Death Bear — a rather intimidating, 7-foot-tall character created by New York performance artist Nate Hill — is a self-appointed public servant for the bereft and the brokenhearted.
Instead of fighting crime in Gotham City the way Batman does, this superhero pays solemn visits to the homes of Brooklyn residents who are struggling to move on with their lives after breakups and other painful experiences. And as that unmentionable, Cupid-inspired holiday neared, he added extra days to his schedule.
Hill’s Web site shares this description of what Death Bear does for people:
“We all have someone or something we would rather just forget. Things fall apart. Love hurts. Dreams die. But when you summon Death Bear to your door, you can rest assured that help has come.
“Death Bear will take things from you that trigger painful memories and stow them away in his cave where they will remain forever, allowing you to move on with your life. Give him an ex’s clothes, old photos, mementos, letters, etc. Death Bear is here to assist you in your time of tragedy, heartbreak and loss.”
