And Death Shall Have No Dominion........or not

[Guest guest]

" This incapacity to die, ironically but inevitably, throws mankind out

of the actuality of living, which for all normal animals is at the same

time dying; the result is the denial of life (repression). The

incapacity to accept death turns the death instinct into its

destructively human and distinctly morbid form. The distraction of

human life to the war against death, by the same inevitable irony,

results in death's dominion over life. " (Norman O'Brown)
