In any case, nobody here is trying to tell you about death. All I said is that there are people who have come to terms with death and I further believe that some of those people are not people whose death's are in the immediate future. That fact that you have never seen it, or at least recognized it, does not mean it doesn't exist.

Well, no .... that wasn't what you said. Maybe that's what you meant. It is not what you said. Go back and read your post.
Of course there are people who have come to terms with death. I suppose there are people who also never have any need to escape from any aspect of the real world, no matter how incredibly awful that real world may be.
So, death and destruction all around them, and they are just fine with that. They've come to terms with that, and they are doing fine, just fine.
Me, I'll take refuge in a book from time to time. I like a bit of escape now and then.
