It's interesting to me that the whole world is becoming more like India was in 1985

 What do I mean by this?

What I mean is that when I first went to India I noticed people were very different than here in the U.S.

Death was all around them then because you would see dead bodies in the streets of cities where people died where they sat or lay on the streets. The bodies then often were not picked up because of the cultural differences there as well. 

What this did was to make people realize (because of all the dead and dying visible to everyone in cities everywhere) it made people live very much in the moment because they didn't know exactly when they were going to die and it could literally be "ANY TIME".

We now live in a world like this because of Covid where people are dying every day at a rate of at least 1900 to 2000 a day right now just here in the U.S. just from Covid. This also makes people live more in the present each and every day because each and every day could be people's last day here on earth, especially if you are choosing not to get vaccinated.
