Its not a 'price' as such, but its one thing animals have over us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Can't it be considered the source of all wisdom!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes!. among animals we are the only ones that can anticipate death!. and we are the only ones with high intelligence!. i wish i was an animal for ignorance is bliss!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!. I think that it is!.

However maybe there is no such thing as mortality!. Maybe there is just a shedding of the body and existence in pure energy form!. I find it hard to believe that the body is all there is and that when you die that's it!. However I don't have any answers as I am on here seeking them myself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
