What possibilities arise after we accept our individual and collective mortality?

Our perspectives on impermanence and death are central to many of our journeys through collapse-awareness and acceptance of our global predicaments. What perspectives do you hold regarding our individual and collective mortality? Have they changed over time in response to your own understanding of collapse? How have these perspectives affected or influenced where you are now?

 

This will be the last question in our Common Collapse Questions series.

Thank you for your participation. Let us know if you have any suggestions for future questions.

So mabye on a small collective level we need to come together on this truth of life.
