The herd mentality

Man is an animal. Man will never succeed from its state of animality. As long as we die, we will always commit ourselves to the institutions of survival. Death is the only system we have not mastered, and thus seems more complex than the universe itself. We've left our planet, traveled to Mars, have taken photos of galaxies which lay billions of light years away, but still can not conquer the simple earthy common concern: death. I heard a poet once say "only believers in death will die". I wonder what that poet will say on his deathbed. However, if we as a species uncover the mysteries of death, locate the eternal fountain of youth, a system of forever, maybe we will transcend into the gods we so carefully worship. Maybe we can relinquish our inner animality by destroying morality, law, and society all together. A true state of singular individuality can exist within the context of infinity, though we've yet to discover what's beyond our finite lives.
