I understand this perspective, but I find it personally hard to relate. Our ancestors regularly got eaten by lions and died horrible, gruesome deaths.

The bubble world of modern society lets us compartmentalize and brush these disturbing thoughts away, because unlike our forebears, we typically don't encounter these ordeals in our daily lives. But anyone can still be dismembered due to traffic accidents. Death and pain are still very much real. It's just slower and lower probability.

My second reaction to this is that I don't want the censure desired by others to be applied universally. I can appreciate that HN might not the the appropriate channel for this type of information, but I don't want to live in a PG-13 world everywhere I go.

But I haven't personally dealt with any major traumas, so perhaps I don't have the proper context to weigh in.
