"What is the most wondrous thing in the world?" asks Yama, the Lord of Death. His son, Yudhisthira, answers, "The most wondrous thing in the world is that all around us people can be dying and we don't believe it can happen to us."
-- from the Mahabharata, quoted in Halifax's Being with Dying, quoted in Evan Thompson's Waking, Dreaming, Being, p. 274
