It's not that we believe that we are invulnerable, that we will live forever. Instead, it is the human mind's struggle to comprehend a world that we are not part of. And so, like with all other uncomfortable, troublesome tasks, we procrastinate when it comes to planning how to distribute the wealth we have accumulated.
