Without judging them (too much) for it, many of them have been raised in cultures that deal with that great fear by ignoring it. Or believing they can somehow avoid their way into immortality.

From what I have witnessed, specialization. And convenience and comfort. It is more efficient (by some measures) to have all your animals penned up in farms. Then they must slaughtered away from where anyone with money or power can be bothered by it and the meat brought in to sell at market. So most will never touch death in a hunt.

It is uncomfortable and maybe dangerous to sit with someone dying of fever so she must be taken somewhere to die and have her corpse prepared by professionals. So most will never touch death in their homes.

To the man in me it seems a much worse way to live. But the Warlord saw many who were content and safe like that, and can't say It would be better for more people to live in fear and suffering.

Simply wish that the costs of their gentle lives didn't lead to so much fear and suffering elsewhere. Including with themselves for they get out of their element.

You asked a good question !

Well done. Do others receive that well when you tell them? I've already met people here who think the Fox is a tyrant in it for their suffering.

[Despite the absolutely insane generosity of the world Thirteen had made. Mindblowing, really.]

[ Gideon sips a whole glass of water loudly while reading the rant about people uncomfortable with death. It's fascinating, like a non-sexy short story, except she's had enough interactions with people uncomfortable with death to have to remove that 'story' description. Non-fiction, not fiction. ]

It's always struck me as strange, but I don't have the experience to understand why the fuck people so weird about death. After all, death is kinda fucked up here compared to how it works in anyone's homes.

'Make it your own' isn't the kind of thing you can just tell people. They have to come to that conclusion themselves. Otherwise you'll only make them dig in their heels harder. Then it takes even longer.

I get being mad and fighting it, I really do, but have they never interacted with someone who's a tyrant in it for their suffering????????
