Perhaps "living fully in the present" covers it, though it's five words; isn't it pretty difficult to live life to the full without some knowledge and acceptance of death?gloriamundihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476712899700515223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1456857068476095225.post-2822725951816172542013-08-23T09:36:31.661+01:002013-08-23T09:36:31.661+01:00As Caitlin Doughy has it, if 'morbid' desc...As Caitlin Doughy has it, if 'morbid' describes an unhealthy interest in death, there is currently no word for a healthy interest in death.
