A very poetic way to describe "growing up in the personality sense"
Yeah. As a kid people think they are invincible and do stupid reckless shit.
When you realize that's dumb and need to be safe that's the "second life"
I don't think it's a "realization." As conscious minds, we know on a superficial level. But, our organic substrate prevents us for fully integrating and internalizing that knowledge, because we serve its needs better when we don't understand mortality.
