Summary

This quote reflects on our instinctive avoidance of the inevitable, which is death. It suggests that acknowledging and understanding the fact that death is unavoidable is one thing, but fully embracing and internally accepting this reality is an entirely different experience. It implies that there is a distinction between simply recognizing the inevitability of death and truly coming to terms with it on a deep emotional level.
