Denial

We first realize our own mortality around the age society considers us responsible adults (sure!). We then spend the next decade or two trying to convince ourselves of our own vaguely immortal nature. After this period of enforced ignorance and therefore enforced bliss, we come face to face with whatever facet of Death we have the misfortune to encounter: disease, weakness and most often the irreversible effects of time on ourselves and on the world around us.
So the greatest question in regard to the relationship each of us has with our own personal vision of Death is "what do I do now?" I would not now, I am only eighteen. So why not ponder this or better yet, why not deny some more?
