Death predominates -- hence money becomes so important.

Life has happened, birth has happened, now death is going to happen.

So our life is predominated too much by death -- hence everybody is in search of security, safety, insurance:
how to avoid death?

How to prolong life a little longer? 

How to be here a little more?
How not to die?
How to escape from death?

Death predominates -- hence money becomes so important.

Remember, the importance of money is the importance of death, because money gives you a false sense of security.

That you have money, that you have the physicians, that you have the medicine, that you have the bank balance, that you have the life insurance, that you have friends, that you have a good house, that if there is some trouble you are protected.

So a person becomes obsessed too much with money: have more and more money, create big China Walls of money around you, so death cannot penetrate.

But nothing can prevent death.
