Why are people more appalled at what they term an unnatural

Summary

This quote highlights a double standard in society's perception of what is considered unacceptable. It questions why people react with more shock and disgust towards unconventional or "unnatural" ways of dying, while being less concerned about individuals living in unnatural or morally questionable ways. The quote challenges our tendency to focus on superficial aspects such as the mode of death, instead of questioning societal norms and judgments surrounding people's lives and actions. It encourages us to reconsider our biases and prioritize critical thinking when evaluating what is truly important in human existence.
