But don't you agree that first you have to believe that's possible?
--- Quote ---I recently heard a song with lyrics about how fragile we are that "we live our lives with death over our shoulders." We do! But that doesn't mean we have to plan our activities as if death is going to come down at any moment.

Yes, you do have to believe it's possible. But there are some things you can talk or will or reason yourself into believing if you're motivated to do so.
In J-school I took a magazine class in which we decided the topic of our class' magazine would be DEATH. It was interesting to consider just how much death influences our quality of life. If death didn't exist, would we get really bored and unmotivated to do anything?
Of course, unless you've had a loved one die (which I hadn't at the time), the entire subject is pretty hypothetical when you're 20.

There's an old movie about this called Zardoz. Starring Sean Connery. Anyone remember it? It was pretty hokey but had some interesting concepts. A barbarian comes to a utopian place where there is no death. The people are all wishing they could die, but they can not. But the barbarian brings death, chaos, and other messy stuff back into their lives.
