Religion
,
politics
,
sports
,
art
,
and
technological
innovation
are
the
result
of
people
’
s
immortality
projects
.
Becker
argues
that
wars
and
revolutions
and
mass
murder
occur
when
one
group
of
people
’
s
immortality
projects
rub
up
against
another
group
’
s
.
Centuries
of
oppression
and
the
bloodshed
of
millions
have
been
justified
as
the
defense
of
one
group
’
s
immortality
project
against
another
’
s
.
But
,
when
our
immortality
projects
fail
,
when
the
meaning
is
lost
,
when
the
prospect
of
our
conceptual
self
outliving
our
physical
self
no
longer
seems
possible
or
likely
,
death
terror
—
that
horrible
,
depressing
anxiety
—
creeps
back
into
our
mind
.
Trauma
can
cause
this
,
as
can
shame
and
social
ridicule
.
As
can
,
as
Becker
points
out
,
mental
illness
.
If
you
haven
’
t
figured
it
out
yet
,
our
immortality
projects
are
our
values
.
They
are
the
barometers
of
meaning
and
worth
in
our
life
.
And
when
our
values
fail
,
so
do
we
,
psychologically
speaking
.
What
Becker
is
saying
,
in
essence
,
is
that
we
’
re
all
driven
by
fear
to
give
way
too
many
fucks
about
something
,
because
giving
a
fuck
about
something
is
the
only
thing
that
distracts
us
from
the
reality
and
inevitability
of
our
own
death
.
And
to
truly
not
give
a
single
fuck
is
to
achieve
a
quasi
-
spiritual
state
of
embracing
the
impermanence
of
one
’
s
own
existence
.
In
that
state
,
one
is
far
less
likely
to
get
caught
up
in
various
forms
of
entitlement
.
Becker
later
came
to
a
startling
realization
on
his
deathbed
:
that
people
’
s
immortality
projects
were
actually
the
problem
,
not
the
solution
;
that
rather
than
attempting
to
implement
,
often
through
lethal
force
,
their
conceptual
self
across
the
world
,
people
should
question
their
conceptual
self
and
become
more
comfortable
with
the
reality
of
their
own
death
.
Becker
called
this
“
the
bitter
antidote
,
”
and
struggled
with
reconciling
it
himself
as
he
stared
down
his
own
demise
.
While
death
is
bad
,
it
is
inevitable
.
Therefore
,
we
should
not
avoid
this
realization
,
but
rather
come
to
terms
with
it
as
best
we
can
.
Because
once
we
become
comfortable
with
the
fact
of
our
own
death
—
the
root
terror
,
the
underlying
anxiety
motivating
all
of
life
’
s
frivolous
ambitions
—
we
can
then
choose
our
values
more
freely
,
unrestrained
by
the
illogical
quest
for
immortality
,
and
freed
from
dangerous
dogmatic
views
.
The
Sunny
Side
of
Death
I
step
from
rock
to
rock
,
climbing
steadily
,
leg
muscles
stretching
and
aching
.
In
that
trancelike
state
that
comes
from
slow
,
repetitive
physical
exertion
,
I
’
m
nearing
the
top
.
The
sky
gets
wide
and
deep
.
I
’
m
alone
now
.
My
friends
are
far
below
me
,
taking
pictures
of
the
ocean
.
Finally
,
I
climb
over
a
small
boulder
and
the
view
opens
up
.
I
can
see
from
here
to
the
infinite
horizon
.
It
feels
as
though
I
’
m
staring
at
the
edge
of
the
earth
,
where
water
meets
the
sky
,
blue
on
blue
.
The
wind
screams
across
my
skin
.
I
look
up
.
It
’
s
bright
.
It
’
s
beautiful
.
I
’
m
at
South
Africa
’
s
Cape
of
Good
Hope
,
once
thought
to
be
the
southern
tip
of
Africa
and
the
southernmost
point
in
the
world
.
It
’
s
a
tumultuous
place
,
a
place
full
of
storms
and
treacherous
waters
.
A
place
that
’
s
seen
centuries
of
trade
and
commerce
and
human
endeavor
.
A
place
,
ironically
,
of
lost
hopes
.
