Perhaps, if you knew you were going to die, your senses cram

Summary

This quote suggests that an impending awareness of mortality leads to a heightened perception of sensory experiences. In the face of death, one's senses strive to absorb and appreciate every detail of the surrounding world. It implies that the realization of limited time prompts people to embrace and cherish moments with a deeper intensity and appreciation. Knowing the inevitability of death may serve as a catalyst for living life more fully and being fully present in each moment.
