Once, a celestial being asked a righteous king what the most wondrous thing in the world was. The king replied,
"despite witnessing death all around us, people live as though they themselves will never die."

The paradox of human existence.

Maybe it is the suppression of our finite nature is what makes many people do so much trting to escape it. We don't live life like we will never die. We live it this way because we will.

Why would anyone live in fear of death, that would be a wasted life. Somewhere on a calendar is your checkout date/time, until then you are invincible, but keep in mind you can still lose limbs and live and it probably hurts a lot.
