internally and externally experienced.

I am this, I'm not this -

Naturally, just as everyone experiences the body.

Human existence finds itself at the cutting edge. You are born, but life can stop at any moment. This applies to everyone. When there is a kink in the cable, the possibility of the end of life is very real. In June there will be an examination to check the status. As for the results, let's just remain open. Life goes on, as long as it goes on. Life lives itself and in every organism it does so for a while. At a certain point that individual piece of life stops. And that applies to everyone.
