My evidence for this is Sue Jacques. She spent years as a forensic death investigator, over 5000 cases. I expected someone who had become numb to it. What I found was someone who became more passionate about how we treat each other in ordinary daily moments, not less.

Her argument is that proximity to death clarifies what actually matters. The small cruelties and kindnesses we exchange every day look different when you’ve spent years at the end of things.

She left forensic investigation and now teaches etiquette and human courtesy. The through line between those two careers is the most interesting part of her story.
