>>6733107Aside from the figure aspect that skeletons could easily fit any theme/scenario; I think that many people like skeletons because it they remind us of our mortal condition as human beings and our limited time here on earth and that we have to live every day at our fulllest.
Also skeletons are the great equalizer of us as persons, no matter if you are white, latin, asian or black or if you are christian, muslim or atheist; deep inside of us are the same, persons with needs, hopes and dreams. We are all born the same way and one day all have to die, so we need to learn to valorate the important things in life and not attach yourself to material things.
