Mere Mortals are merely mortal.
They exist as a physical body in a material world.
Mortals are merely born, exist, then die.
They live in a physical existence between birth & death as experienced with the five physical senses that determine their reality.
Mere mortals are the victims of their fate and are expected to endure and tolerate whatever fortune or misfortune befalls them.
Spiritually awakened Souls know that they are not merely mortal.
Spiritual Beings incarnate in physical form are not mere mortals.
Disconnected from my spiritual origins, it is not difficult to believe that the illusion of being a mere mortal is actually real.
Mere mortality involves a long and slow lingering existence towards death and away from life.
