QUOTE
humans are the only creatures on this planet that fear death
do not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for if you do then you will surely die (or have death on the mind all the time)
Certainly puts a different spin on things now, doesn't it? Alot of science, technology, and everything else in the way of advancement of humanity finds it's root in ways to avoid death. Death, it seems, or rather the fear of, is a great motivator.
