When you surrender desire, disappointment disappears, and life becomes a moment-to-moment experience.

So that one can make up excuses for not wanting to die

It becomes infeasible to keep making up excuses for not wanting to die once one dies.

Believing the excuses one makes up for not wanting to die.
