Only humans can choose Life Eternal. And it is often a ritual which leads them to this knowledge.
Because of this, no other animal form, besides the human being, can live in perfect contentment and peace while on earth. This is the true Life which never dies.
It does seem peculiar. So much time and resources are consecrated to ‘hereafter insurance’. Often do I envy other life forms, seemingly able to go through their existence with out ever lending a thought to human concerns.
