"people are dying"

I hear this in my head, often

obviously, it means horribly, prematurely, unnaturally (killed?);  and just recently dead...
BUT
it could also mean:

1. getting closer to death (true of everybody, always)
2. dying of embarrassment
3. orgasm ("little death")
4. code for killing (am I dying you?)
5. dye-ing (like a fabric, e.g. a tie-dye shirt)
6. DI-ing (doing that princess thing)
7. playing with dice (just one is a die), gambling
8. DI is 49...

anyway, we all know what Ocasio Cortez is saying
  (preventably! dying)
but a little poetic perspective never hurts, I think

HERO
save people (from pain, suffering, injury, death)
help others, be good, defeat evil
save the world, lol
be virtuous, set an example, be a role model

God
game of dominoes, lol
g-d as a game-designer (life is a game? why not?)
immortal and omniscient? (both, impossible, in my opinion)

hell, he will, Helen, place of the dead (we're all going there)
heaven, heavin' that stone (myth of sisyphus, like a dung beetle!)
   work it! sweat! exercise! heavenly body, shining

Soul
consciousness (a mix of self, others, maybe including "god")
higher self, base self, layers (many me's, and the mini-me)
psyche, both deep and shallow
high-level, low-level (life as a game)
collective consciousness, unconsciousness, hive-mind, groupthink, prayer, telepathy
