#3So incredibly depressing. Aren't we reminded enough already everywhere, that it will someday end?

I don't believe we are reminded of this at all. People make ridiculous decisions today with no thinking of the future. It's a common fallacy on the mind. We think of our today "self" and not the grander "self" of from birth to death. If you think about the finite-ness of life you've live healthier and more productively.

I expect it's designed for people who don't think about the future, yet I imagine people like us will end up getting it and just get dipressed every time we have fun rather than preparing out legacy.

#6I don't need an Expiration Date clock counting down the seconds to remind me to Live Life.
When I want to feel depressed, er, motivated I just figure out how many weekends I have left until I'm 78.
From all the complaining I hear from people past a certain age there's quality of life issues well before that magic number though.

#8I find "weeks of life" the most familiar repeating pattern.
Take a moment to realize there are "only" about 1000 weeks in 20 years.
Now think about your weekly patterns and start counting down.
Bonus depression for the morning, your chance of cancer doubles every decade.

Is simply "not thinking about it" the answer though? It seems to me that a lot of people deal with death by forgetting about it, and avoiding anything that reminds of it.
