*by A***R on 9 September 2025*

A lifetime compressed into words. It made me sit still and think about life, death, the illusion of success, and what it truly means to live with meaning. Ivan Ilyich lives a life that, on paper, is picture-perfect. A high-status job, a beautiful home, a well-placed social circle, and a family. He believes he is content. But the unsettling part is how easily we, as readers, can recognise ourselves in him, in his pursuit of a life that is "correct" rather than authentic. In how we often mistake comfort for fulfillment. One day, while adjusting the drapes in his home (a house he took great pride in, his "ideal interior" built to reflect success), he slips and injures his side. A trivial accident, he assumes, "just a bruise". But that single moment becomes the beginning of his slow decline. What struck me was not the illness itself, but how it unravels everything he thought he understood about life. What do you do when the very life you've built suddenly feels hollow in the face of death? As Ivan becomes bedridden, the people around him, his wife, children, colleagues, all continue to perform the roles they always have. They pity him, YES. But there's a subtle coldness, a desire to move on with life, to avoid discomfort. And this is where the author holds up a harsh mirror to society: how often do we hide from the truth of someone else's suffering because it makes us uncomfortable? The author writes death as a slow, painful awakening. Ivan's physical agony becomes spiritual, forcing him to question the life he thought was "good." And that's what shook me: if you don't live in truth, you might end up dying in confusion. This read left me wondering, what does it even mean to die well? OR maybe more importantly, what does it mean to live in a way that doesn't leave us terrified of the end? :) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.
