The Mortal Reminder is doing an act where your fantasies take over so someone reminds you that you're doing some fked up shit.
I was jerking off to the hottest girl in class but she was right in front of me. A bit later the school shooter tells me to stop and to leave his corpse alone.
Josh: " Was anyone hurt at the school shooting?"
Me: " Yeah a few students died, luckily the school shooter was nice enough to give me a Mortal Reminder because the rest was distracted of mine act instead of his."

if one chooses to be hopeful or spiritual, a temporary "what if"-"i have no clue, i'm lost" scenario, placed in your path with the purpose of making you consider things in a different light, for your own ultimate good, and, eventually, value the prospect of living forever more, among other benefits, without feeling bored, because life just keeps going...and going...and going...on, and on, and on...forever.

No matter how many times people like to talk about it over and over, it turns out even as kids, everybody already knew that nobody was immortal.

The Olympian deities boasted, 'The mortals are so lowly, since they come from the mortal world, which is also called 'the lower-air' and we gods are way-up in status, since we come from the celestial godly realm, which is also called 'the upper-air', (ie. The Aether/Cosmos).'
