Acknowledging Mortality

From a biblical standpoint, the wages of sin is death. And what is the one thing that all humans have in common? Our mortality. We fear death. We also strive for "sinlessness", or perfection - better and faster (perfect) technology, smarter and more efficient (perfect) homes, beautiful (perfect) people without blemish. 

So..."according to the bible", if the wages of sin is death, then the secret to immortality (NOT dying) is perfection (being without sin). So is the core of our drive to achieve perfection and therefore continue to evolve, the fear of and wish to prevent death? We improve medicines to prevent death, put off important things believing that we can make up for it later, make homes as perfect as possible as if we were to live in them forever, and strive for perfectly beautiful people as if they won't age in time and lose their "beauty". But what does that matter when we all eventually die anyways? So the fact is, some day I will die.

Why have luxury if you cant take it to the grave? Because we live as if we were immortal. Do you know anyone who ever thinks and acknowledges fully "someday I will die?". I believe it is more damaging to the human race to live as if we can live forever then living like today could be our last day on earth. Think about it, if we act like we will live forever we procrastinate. "I'll get to it tomorrow" "I'll call her/him tomorrow" "I'll apologize for that tomorrow."

But what if there is no tomorrow? (a startlingly realistic possibility) How would you treat other people? If you would treat them differently that day than any other, doesn't that prove that normally you don't acknowledge your mortality? How would the world be if we embraced our mortality?

Would their be wars (if you knew you were already going to die someday)? Would people drive safer, be nicer, not be greedy? Would their be progress...? (if we acknowledged we were going to die, why would we strive to preserve life with medicine? Why would we improve technology and be innovative if in 50 or more years we'd no longer be able to use it (because we were dead). Would we strive for beauty if despite whether or not you are pretty you still can't escape death..?

Which is better, to act like we will live forever, or die tomorrow?

Should we acknowledge out immortality, or continue to hide from it?
