Dead was not an absolute concept to her. Some people were more dead than others, and finally it was a matter of opinion who was dead and who was alive, so it was best not to discuss such a thing.
In her view, the concept of death is not strictly defined; rather, it exists along a spectrum. She believes that the degree to which someone is considered "dead" can vary based on individual perspectives, suggesting that there are nuances in how people perceive life and death. This belief leads her to conclude that discussing death can be complex and often unproductive.
This perspective challenges traditional notions of mortality, promoting an understanding that acknowledges different states of existence. By suggesting that opinions shape our understanding of life and death, the author invites readers to reflect on the subjective nature of these concepts and the meanings they hold in human experience.
