There have been a couple of times I knew death was possible in the immediate future and all was out of my control. I thought, what happens, happens. And I let go, relaxed and peaceful. But it is not easy nor useful to hold that attitude in everyday life.

Maybe it’s not easy, but many people find that attitude useful in a variety of circumstances. Maybe this is part of why some of us seek the advice/perspectives of the dying. Life is rarely peaceful unless we make it deliberately so.

"But it is not easy nor useful to hold that attitude in everyday life."

Why do you think it would not be useful? Aren't you more productive, when you are relaxed, compared to stressed out, where one does make misstakes easy?
