Harold grapples with his own mortality from "summary" of Harold and Maude by Colin Higgins

In a world where time seems to slip away like sand through one's fingers, Harold finds himself grappling with a profound truth that he cannot ignore - his own mortality. The realization hits him like a ton of bricks, causing him to question the very essence of his existence. As he navigates the complexities of life and death, Harold is forced to confront his deepest fears and insecurities. The concept of mortality looms large over Harold, casting a shadow that seems to follow him wherever he goes. It is a constant reminder of the fleeting nature of life, a stark contrast to the facade of immortality that he has created for himself. Despite his best efforts to avoid the subject, Harold is unable to escape the inevitable truth that one day he too will cease to exist. As he grapples with the concept of his own mortality, Harold undergoes a profound transformation. He begins to see the world through a different lens, gaining a newfound appreciation for the beauty and fragility of life. The once stoic and detached Harold is replaced by a man who is more present, more alive. This internal struggle with mortality forces Harold to confront his own fears and anxieties, pushing him to reevaluate his priorities and make peace with his own mortality. It is a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, a process that is as painful as it is liberating. Harold's evolution is a testament to the transformative power of facing one's own mortality head-on. In the end, Harold emerges from this existential crisis as a changed man. He no longer fears the inevitability of death, but instead embraces it as an integral part of the human experience. Through his journey, Harold learns that it is not the fear of death that defines us, but rather how we choose to live in the face of it.
