["Death is the most personal aspect of being human, unrelated to others, certain but uncertain, an insurmountable possibility." —Heidegger.]
[Aside from illness and self-abandonment, it's hard for us to imagine on which day our own death will arrive. Subconsciously, we assume that we will continue living along a path conceived in our minds. In this mindset, the elderly might consider whether their actions will be limited by their lifespan, but the young do not, for they do not consider "death."]
[Hence the avoidance of thinking about "death."]
[In some sense.]
[It's also an avoidance of thinking about "life."]
[This view is no different from our perception of the "Number One Player." We all subconsciously ignore the possibility of his "death."]
