Take death for example. A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extraordinary efforts to delay it and often consider its intrusion a tragic event. Yet we’d find it hard to live without it. Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it. If death were indefinitely put off, the human psyche would end up, well, like the gambler in the “Twilight Zone” episode.

Welcome to a world where the air I breathe is mine
There’s nothing to overwhelm me and nothing to cloud my mind
Be anyone, do anything I’d ever want to try
Time doesn’t exist here, I will never die
