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

every thing we do is to stave off the end, even if we do not know it
Not what Marcus Aurelius did, as his Meditations indicate.
@Ryderbike I didn't say or imply any such thing. He developed an indifference to it, understood its place in life.
@LamontCranston yes good description. I misunderstood your original post.
@Ryderbike Thanks,
Everyone knows everyone dies but everyone thinks they are immortal.
