Can raise an interesting discussion on this topic though.. most people when faced with death imminently are going to be scared; so is it irrational for people to be aware of their mortality even when not staring it down? Or vice versa is it an "enlightened state" to be able to comfortably live in ignorance of it? (which would be most people who aren't scared of it, myself included).
Oh I think you’ll find that really young people and really old people handle death the best (ever told a young kid a relo has died they are like ‘ok, can I go back to LEGO now?’
Old people know it’s coming and most are comfy knowing their time is up.
Whereas once you hit the middle part you not only stress about your own mortality, and those close to you, but you get sad over complete strangers dying. It’s weird man.
I’m not sure if ignorance is the best word. I’d call it acceptance. You know it’s coming, you can’t do anything about it, so why stress.
I’m also not the best person to ask on this either. It has a very unflattering name, but I’d rather you just assume I’m ‘different’.
If anything I’m def more ‘concerned’ at how my life will be when I reach the age you physically can’t live your current life.
I guess I was looking at contrasting the ignorance with acceptance. I reckon a lot of people probably aren't that happy that they're gonna die. But just don't really think about it much and so its not an active concern. Rather than being well aware of it in day to day life and having conscious thoughts that its acceptable and considering it in their decisions.
I'm currently watching Riverdale - I used to read the comics as a kid and while it's not 100% accurate due to being aimed at a modern audience - it's entertaining enough - just don't expect Citizen Kane.
Riverdale is good.
So is Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (but I like Douglas Adams)
And Black Lightning is very good too
Anyone seen Barry?

Yes I have, other Barry
