comment

• comparable to Ernest Becker's description of the human condition
• in his book The Denial of Death
  • quote:
    • "Man is literally split in two: he has an awareness of his own splendid uniqueness in that he sticks out of nature with a towering majesty, and yet he goes back into the ground a few feet in order to blindly and dumbly rot and disappear forever."

comment
