    I was gonna ask the same thing...you out of all the people anonymouse shouldn't have talked about psychological differences between humans and animals... (remembering your comments in the homosexual thread)
    as much as animals know how to love and feel happy or sad for actual reasons, they know how to fear... especially death...
    I know I keep bringing up Flames' wise words... but fear of the unknown is the worst kind... and death is the ultimate unknown...so I don't see why Epicurus is trying so hard to overcome that kind of a fear... I guess he had some ego problems or something... don't ALL guys?

      In answer to your question, YES!

      My words aren't really that wise, just logical. Think of your fears, and most likely the root of them all is the unknown and unpredictable.

      And Jahannamik, I'm disappointed. Where's the 1000 posts, babe???

        A quote from the gladiator movie speaks of this topic: "Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back." I think that's true, death is something that WILL happen, no stopping it. So why think about it, just smile at death till your time comes.

            So Emil, when there's a gun pointed at your head, are you going to be smiling?

                    Even though I completely disagree with this, it reminded me of something.

                    For those of you that have seen the film "American Beauty", I'm relatively sure you remember what Rick Fitts (HOT!) said about death and its "beauty", and the way he looked and smiled when he looked into the face of his girlfriend's dead father who only moments before had had his brains splattered all over the walls.
