Why not? And.. Why not shoot the leg instead? Like once? Anyway food for thought to a bunch of privileged smartphone users: "No, we can chalk that up to our fear of the horrifying and the power of denial. When you, like I did, grow up in an ideal world with a mom and a dad and a good education and you don’t want for anything, there isn’t much room for the horrifying. There are anxieties and there are neuroses, but to privileged folks like me, the real horror of existence — of life and death and the possibility that it could very easily come to you at any second without justification — is utterly foreign. Sometimes we get a peek of it. Maybe on the news, beaming images from thousands of miles away. We read about it. We hear about it second hand. But we don’t experience it. And on some level it’s so utterly out of our frame of reference that our brains work hard to deny its existence. To explain it away as something not real.

What are the words they’re almost 100% certain to use: “I couldn’t believe it … it was … surreal.” " Article -Craig Calcaterra Denying the Horrifying
