Processing our mortality

[Mister Agenda]

Contemplating death is psychologically healthy. The people of Bhutan have a common practice of thinking about death five times a day, and they are considered one of the countries where the people are happiest. Even their children are not sheltered from death.

There's some evidence that we have a sort of 'psychological immune system' that prompts us to be more likely to think of something happy after we've been contemplating death.

Thanks for the happy thoughts, Lady!
