"We are separated from death by sterile hospitals and less and less accidents caused by Ugg not a being very good aim with his spear"
We are surrounded by death. If not on TV, by car accidents, cancer, gunhot, war, famine etc, etc. I agree it's sterilized to a degree, but having 'reverence' or understanding of the cyclical nature of birth and death doesn't, I believe distinguish the percieved time frame of life. And 'life is short' is still one of our more common maxims?
And 'Ugg' would no doubt be a finer shot with his spear than you or I might with our words ;-)
