We are all in exile, to our true home.  The anxiety from that, causes these odd social projections.  Though it is hard, show compassion for them.  They are not handling the same exile condition as well as you.  In the end all of us are afraid of death.  And we are in exile to that.  So let us not fear death.

Why? Because what other way could it be done? There was no cipher prior to the creation of symbolic language. So one had to be created. Civilisation created this new cipher - we used a symbolic language to describe in words, literal things. And have done so ever since. Yes, it has become normalised - it seems to always have been this way, we just got used to using symbols and now think they are literal truth. And if we try hard to remember, we start noticing this is just an illusion. An illusion with great utility no doubt.  The etymology of all words and phrases is rooted in a mythical or symbolic manifestation of the actual things.
