Are we so made that we have to take death in small doses dai

Summary

This quote suggests that humans have an inherent ability to cope with the concept of death by gradually accepting its presence in their lives. It implies that acceptance of mortality is crucial in order to continue with the daily activities and routines that constitute living. Instead of confronting death all at once, humanity seems to have a compulsion to deal with it in manageable increments, allowing us to maintain our focus and purpose in life. This perspective highlights the delicate balance between the inevitable reality of death and the importance of actively engaging in the present.
