Sure, many people do that kind of a dance or compartmentalization. But that only lasts as long as nothing severe comes to challenge it. Sudden death of a loved one is a cliche but commonly forces people to conclude something.

Death is a certainty. That's what it leads me to conclude. Idk what happened after death. I do know sweating it isn't benefitting me or my loved ones. What does benefit all of us is loving each other and doing what we can for each other with the time we have.
