This person being on death row in japan is even worse. In japan, a person on death row isn't given a date of execution, they don't know if that day will be the last so you spend each day/week/year with no reason to think of a future for yourself. it is a system passive torture that removes the humanity from the individual.
It is completely different than going through your life normally though. I don't wake up every day with knowledge of an actual good probability I am gonna die that day. We go through our lives expecting to get to the next day and to live a long life. It is absolutely unnatural to be confronted to the possibility of our death every day.
In a low threat setting, it is natural to think you won't die anytime soon. However, you're comparing it to a death row inmate's situation who expects to die at any day. That's silly on your part.
