Until we confront our own mortality directly, every death we witness is filtered through the mind — it's psychological, symbolic, or distant. We grieve, we reflect, but it's still abstract.
It’s not until we personally face death — through illness, deep loss, or a near-death experience — that it becomes real, visceral, no longer just a concept.
That’s why people can live recklessly or apathetically, thinking they have time. Because to the mind, death is always something that happens to others.
But the moment it gets close, everything changes. Perspective sharpens. Priorities shift. The noise fades.
