1.1.0 Mortality

Problem:

All people are mortal. Awareness of inevitable death can cause fear, anxiety, and a sense of futility ("what’s the point if it all ends?").

Possible Solutions:

Acceptance: Embracing death as a natural part of life (e.g., Stoic or Buddhist approaches).

Legacy: Creating meaning through contributions (art, family, work, kindness) that outlive the person.

Spiritual/Religious: Belief in an afterlife, reincarnation, or unity with the universe.

Philosophical reframing: Mortality gives urgency and value to life—it is precious because it ends.
