In the face of terror
Knowledge of one's own mortality triggers an existential anxiety, an inner terror. All the things you do in life with a lot of effort and effort is ultimately futile. This futility man feels as degrading.
Man suspect it already as Child knows and then later that he will die. This makes it the fearful, terrifying back before the death of animals. To
right to come to, creates a man-made slip-sense and adopt this order, meaning and an imaginary permanence that goes beyond one's own life and gives you a sense of immortality. not from the wish to the physical end wiped out as irrelevant to his, seeking a man then to stay with others in memory - attempts mostly by the idea of his own family, by social and scientific achievements, revolutionary ideas, works of art or one , with a religious faith an eternal to save lives.
This creates a self-esteem, which allows one to experience his life as meaningful and considered. We will not without a sense lived on this planet to have worked, suffered, died for nothing here.
The desire for distinction and uniqueness can already see the sibling rivalry, the battle for greater piece of chocolate or about to be the first to be somewhere. Children are not cancerous, but they represent quite openly the tragic fate of mankind. The man desperately struggling to assert itself in the cosmos as something unique to be a hero, so it counts more than any other thing. The child's Rivalry will be to win the adults to a duel, a conflict, the greatest attention. Man Moeche by external circumstances role for society, guaranteed by a state in the transitory world to value and safety.
vulnerability
The young child is helpless in a situation. It lurks everywhere around the chaos. The scares, which intensified when it experienced its physical vulnerability or death of parents, siblings or just a pet. The fear of death is reflected in the fear down for life. The outside world is experienced hostile, so the child safety and seeking protection. This need for protection, it transmits it to the protection of persons who thus become powerful figures, but able to banish the forces of chaos. This transfer serves as a taming of terror.
This has of course the price of a new terror: the fear of loss of the object that helps one to conquer death. To obtain this protection, the child must be the object of protection (parents, God) to adapt through self control, avoid disapproval and earn the love and attention.
The positive reaction of the company and the parent gives the child the feeling to be of importance. The result is conformity and adaptation.
religion as understood in the world makes, regardless of human standards, to please the adaptation urge other people, but the moral religiosity transfers the concept then immediately afterwards, like the source of creation to do. Then grows rapidly approaching an anxiety to please the ever-present to God and his demands to fulfill. The
is an inevitable paradox: on the one hand, the desire for uniqueness and to overcome all handicaps, on the other hand the need for adaptation, recognition by the social environment and compliance.
passive and active heroism
to be working in the larger whole, be used with the All, to live in a cosmic connection, increases one's own being and gives the people a sense of a transcendent, immortal value. This is an attempt to escape the mortality rate - a passive heroism.
On the other hand, would open man anywhere, but be unique and unmistakable, to fulfill his desire for immortality through unique services. It drives the people then, from nature to stand and to dominate - an active heroism.
The passive heroism stands for loneliness, but out of the active heroism in the insulation because it is a "mortal immortality," which the fruits performance and track formation are able to communicate within the world. Even if what you want happens it loses still more important over time and is forgotten.
transcendental uniqueness
The eternal soul is unique and we already need no longer distinguish themselves artificially. It has not a value in God and must be by location, family activity or ascribe a value. Man is loved without having to behave in a certain way in order to earn the love of God.
religion gives the realization that it is impossible to form within their own human condition, something absolute. That would be the compensation of the Agape motif into the Temporary into it. The cosmic heroism, faith and God called the people from his death relieves anxiety, because he understands that for him as an eternal being no death and there has never existed. Thus he is freed from the need and can now only really use his life as a gift to God - be released from the threat of existential anxiety in the neck.
