The Denial of Death

“Tranquilize yourself with the trivial so you can live a normal life. Not worrying about the god like problems, like what is a flower or why are we here. Problems only the gods would be able to understand”

- The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker 1973

@LamontCranston yes good description. I misunderstood your original post.

Everyone knows everyone dies but everyone thinks they are immortal.
