Probably I chose immortality because mortality is a universal human obsession.

What does immortality mean to me? That we all want more time; and we want it to be quality time.

The contradictions are what make human behavior so maddening and yet so fascinating, all at the same time.

Studying anthropology, I developed a kind of holistic view of human existence, in which the dichotomies you listed are all necessary and vital aspects of life.

Humans are upsetting a fragile balance that their own human ancestors established.

Shall a man
grave his sorrows upon a stone when he hath but need to write them on
the water? Nay, oh /She/, I will live my day, and grow old with my
generation, and die my appointed death, and be forgotten.
