Summary

This quote challenges the common perception that death is the ultimate negative experience. It suggests that no one truly knows what death entails, and perhaps it could even be a positive outcome. By questioning the fear associated with death, the quote encourages us to consider the possibility that death could bring about the highest form of good, implying that it may be a transformative and liberating experience rather than a dreaded end. Ultimately, it emphasizes the uncertainty surrounding death and challenges us to reevaluate our perceptions of it.

Watching old movies is like spending an evening with those people next door. They bore us, and we wouldn't go out of our way to see them; we drop in on them because they're so close. If it took some effort to see old movies, we might try to find out which were the good ones, and if people saw only the good ones maybe they would still respect old movies. As it is, people sit and watch movies that audiences walked out on thirty years ago. Like Lot's wife, we are tempted to take another look, attracted not by evil but by something that seems much more shameful -- our own innocence.
