Interesting thought: if you put two people in pond water where the ice thinned and breaks, one with cold water experience and the other, perhaps, a child, two people in the same situation, one individual will have a significantly more near-death experience than the other.

There are many sick across various ages. Some are healthy and young but find themselves in bad situations. Many old and healthy who are 99 nevertheless. It becomes more a science and math game at that point, regardless of how strong your mind is.

Then there are people who are depressed, or perhaps suddenly suicide-minded, or hot and cold as I can imagine such conditions with manic-depression can be. Many people, seemingly capable of handling cold water on the outside, romanticizing drowning alone down deep on the inside.

Not everybody thinks of death. Not everybody wants to. But it is a part of the human experience. From the positive sense, when it’s not about wicked people prolonging negative circumstances, death helps us appreciate not just life & the living, but the quality of life within that

I don’t know if there’s a moral to this thread. I guess it’s just a thought that, some people look close to death on the outside but are near godlike on the inside, while others look peak on the outside, and on the inside they might be close to death. That and many other mindsets
