Death Denial - What Is Mortal?

Carlos cacanada wrote, death is our eternal companion. It is always to our left, at arm's length. How can any one feel so important when we know that death is stalking us? The thing do when you're impatient is to turn to your left and ask advice from your death. An immense amount of pettiness is dropped if your death makes a gesture to you or if you just have the feeling that your companion is watching you.
