Death and human life:

Practically all the progress that man has made is due to the fact that he is mortal. He has recognised that he is in this world only a little while and this knowledge been good to stimulate him to make diligent use of whatever talents he is edowed with. Because man is subjected to death, he has made fullest use of his facilities and has extracted from nature his secrets to make life bearable if not to conquer death. Our parental instincts are strengthened by death. If there were no death, we should not care so much to have children to preserve the human race from oblivion. All our instincts and emotions are re-inforced by death. A man may love his books but the love he bears to his wife, children and his friends is something deeper and mkre sublime, because this love is purified by the thought that human life is finite thing. How different the world would be without children. Death ennobles and sublimates human affections. Love for relations and friends is deeper than the love for material things because the thought of death increases it.
