However, for today and indeed for the age of mortals, the humble acceptance of mortality is important and sensible. Yet, it's even more crucial to rationally utilize the time allotted to us and to live fully in the present — for our loved ones and ourselves, for all that is valuable, and for the future immortal Humans.
