Let's live in a way so that we don't have to be afraid to die! - Stanislav Stodůlka

Who knows, maybe it's totally awesome after death. We just don't know, so we are afraid, and so we often try to hold on here 'tooth and nail'.

Paradox: We harm children in the long run by wanting to help them (out of love or short-term convenience).

A healthy body, with the help of oxytocin and other hormones, creates very intense feelings towards the offspring. Long-term feelings, strong enough to have us feel an endless need to protect the child throughout life, even at the cost of our own. Thanks to these feelings, however, we protect them not only from the environment and its own indiscretions, but often also from ourselves, and therefore from actions stemming from our emotions.
