If we were constantly aware, we might also be paralyzed by sadness and fear. Thus, forgetfulness is also a blessing.

I knew a poster by the name of HodSanders, at first over the internet, and then later in person. One moment we are working together and then next moment I get a call from his father informing he passed away, alone at his home and was only found days later. That has always stopped me in my tracks. People shouldn't die alone.
