The only people who have truly come to terms with life .... well, they're staring in their own personal version of the Dead Parrot Sketch.
Actually, I think there are in fact people who have come to terms with their mortality... I would guess that any man who saw extensive combat during war would need to come to terms with that reality simply to survive the experience.
