Probably, yes. Imagine how superhuman you'd feel skydiving without a parachute outside the day of your death knowing you couldn't die. (plot twist: you spend 10 years in a coma afterwards and still die from doing it :/)

coma would be the universe being nice to you. Imagine a full body paralysis where you're aware of every second passing and the only thing you can do is rot, and maybe hope twitter's head clown puts a dodgy chip in your brain so maybe you could feel the joy of playing solitaire again.
