One of the primary problems created by thought in fragmentary perception consists in a (fear-driven) delusionary belief that one will live forever in time (as Mr. X or Ms. Y). The eternal life in time (after physical death of the body!) will be granted to him or her by some mysterious entity if they follow its rules and make others comply with the rules even by force.
It frequently causes havoc in the world because some of the people are very influential.

Someone who understands what a miracle life is will not tear a single leaf on a tree.
