We pay dearly for immortality: we die for it more than once during our lifetimes.
When we die to something, something comes alive within us. If we die to self, charity comes alive; if we die to pride, service comes alive; if we die to lust, reverence for personality comes alive; if we die to anger, love comes alive.
The BBC did a survey of the top 50 things to do before we die. Not while we're still alive, before we die.

We always honor our people when they die; we've got to honor them while we're still alive.
We attach our feelings to the moment when we were hurt, endowing it with immortality. And we let it assault us every time it comes to mind. It travels with us, sleeps with us, hovers over us while we make love, and broods over us while we die. Our hate does not even have the decency to die when those we hate die-for it is a parasite sucking OUR blood, not theirs. There is only one remedy for it. [forgiveness]
The Universe operates on a basic principle of economics: everything has its
cost. We pay to create our future, we pay for the mistakes of the past. We
pay for every change we make . . . and we pay just as dearly if we refuse to

The outrage was on the scale of God. My younger brother was immortal and they hadn't noticed.

And the error, the outrage, filled the whole universe.
