The strongest motivator its not mortality but fatality that makes us anxious we associate fatality with mortality. death is where events of universe and our own personal [[Meaning]] become undone even if we were given immortality it would not please us. we want fullness, so death is scary because we dont get to finish what we wanted. [[Being mode]] soothes our fear of mortality i am deeply attached to the gift of consciousness and my self. the fact i have all these things i love like relationships ive built for years, just the experience of being able to control my body and experience the world through my senses makes me very grateful, and the fact that this will all cease is unfathomable to me
