My personal opinion,is that realising death is a slow process..it begins in the early lifetime and sometimes it might cause shock.Some people even get mad with this thought.For example hypochonders are afraid of the possibility of getting sick so by any imaginary symptoms they rush to cure their "diagnosed" disease...so they won't die! If we look at life as the greatest gift we could ever get then we will enjoy it..on the same time,acceptance of death feels natural.A person who thinks in a similar way has won the game with death,because he has accepted it.Such a person lives with peace as if he will live for ever..it doesn't bother him..and this is the aim,not to be bothered by death..this could be another form of immortality!
