Of course...
The worst thing in this world is IMMORTALITY.
And, having looked Death in the eye, you change; it's true (believe me, from birth until I was 7, I walked along the edge of a cliff... No, I wasn't seriously ill – I was just unlucky. To get sick with something that affects 1 child out of 10,000 – that's about how it was).
I experienced it for a few minutes, but that was enough.
The first time was in childhood; I woke up and realized I couldn't breathe.
And the second time (about five years ago), when it dawned on me that I had just narrowly escaped death, I went to wash myself in a state of prostration. At home, I wrote something on the theme of "Why my face is even covered in mud."
and you begin to understand – Death is not romance, Death is an attribute of Life, and at the same time – a blind monster. And in general... People live on a narrow strip between life and death... We are mortal, but we live.
Some people think they are evil. But what would happen if people (and animals) stopped dying?
Alex, is there no magic?
There is. And it's not fairy tales or games.
