I wonder if this is a lesson anyone can take, in practice. It's inspirational in theory -- I'm stirred up, imagining the scene you've described. But how long could you go in the world with a real sense of your imminent mortality? It's an interesting question. I suppose people with terminal illnesses would give some part of an answer.

I don't have an answer to this question. I believe that you cannot live every second of your life with the sense of your imminent mortality (even those with terminal illness, I think), because this fact can lead you towards depression, but you cannot also live as you are never going to die. Probably, the key is finding the balance between these two extremes.
