“It's not easy to live every moment wholly aware of death. It's like trying to stare the sun in the face: you can stand only so much of it.

We project ourselves into the future through our children; we grow rich, famous, ever larger; we develop compulsive protective rituals; or we embrace an impregnable belief in an ultimate rescuer.” TryingChildrenMomentsFacesDeathBeliefGrowsEasySunRichProjectsUltimateOur ChildrenMethodEmbraceTerrorStaringRitualFrozenProtectiveLive Every Moment Book:Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death Source: Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death
