16．1A narrow escape from death can actually improve a person's view on life．That，at least，was one of the major findings of a study of some 200 people who come close to dying．Some had come through heart attack； some had fallen and come close to drowning or survived a terrible car wreck，yet despite the variety of circumstances，they reported strikingly similar reactions to their experiences．
Perhaps most surprisingly，many said they were less frightened of death now than they were before．Like most people，before their near-death incidents，many had thought death would be painful，the ultimate horror-but they didn't find it was．
Surviving a nearly fatal experience also gave many people a sense of invulnerability（不會(huì)受傷害）that made them feel special and even religious．Several believed they had been saved because they were to fulfill some special mission in the remainder of their lives．
Perhaps not so surprisingly，these survivors also reported an increased enthusiasm for life and a determination to enjoy life more．
A few of the survivors did report negative reactions to their experience．A dozen said they felt more vulnerable（脆弱的），and some even felt a sense of helplessness and a loss of control over their lives．Some had become phobic about activities associated with the accident； for example，several said they could no longer swim for fear of drowning．
Yet most of those interviewees said they came away with a strong sense of renewal or rebirth．In studying their reactions researchers have concluded that these people have come to understand the relationship of life and death better and more intimately than most of us，they have come to understand how life is actually defined by death．Life is given meaning by the fact that it will end someday．
