There was a thread on reddit a while back asking cancer survivors what the worst part of it was. One person said that when they got diagnosed, it brought a black cloud into their family that will never leave. Even in remission, it will always be there in the back of the minds of their loved ones, forever.

I understand this personally but I temper those thought by the fact that anyone can be killed randomly by anything at anytime. So live each day regardless.

A creature can not live with this realization not supressed. You cant take credit. You cant have a loved one go on a journey alone. If you where fully aware of you mortality, you would cower in a bonker like a nomad crab in its shell. Maybe one would storm outside from time to act in fits of panic.

And yes, those edgy adults, claiming to be aware of death/mortality and accpeting, usually have created lightning rods in theire conciousness for these fears.

Like believe systems, that reroute this fear into believe of immortality, or in the atheist case a feeling of superiority for living your life to the max, while all those others do not. Those fully aware are in asylums
