We're both dead.

Ever since we were young we were told about death. We have always known we are mortal and there is an end to this life, this name, this identity. However, how many of us actively are aware of the fact that our lives could end at any given moment.

Right now, ten minutes from now or ten decades from now-- The colours around us could turn grey, we could lose consciousness and become a victim to the commonly known phenomenon-- death.Why is thinking about death considered being pessimistic or scientifically harmful when it is the reality. Our reality. It is completely inevitable and likely to happen to all of us.

But if losing consciousness, hope and colour in life is death then haven't we all been dead?
