Quote by Susan Sontag
For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of death (or of anything else) as natural, death is the obscene mystery, the ultimate affront, the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied.
Summary
This quote highlights how individuals who lack religious beliefs or a naturalistic perspective on death view it as an enigma. Death is seen as an offensive, uncontrollable force that challenges their understanding and autonomy. Therefore, these individuals cope with death by denying its existence rather than finding solace or acceptance in religious or natural explanations.
