Sometimes, it’s worth mulling over death. Oh yes, it’s morbid and depressing and almost taboo. But it’s one way we can value life.

It’s amazing how people don’t value their lives. The emergency rooms of hospitals all over the world are filled with people who took life for granted and were casual about risks to their lives. People who drove too fast, swam in dangerous waters or failed to wear a safety belt or helmet. Or, in 2020, people who didn’t physically distance in a pandemic.
