Thank you Dan. Her feelings are so compellingly expressed I wish she we're here right now so I could give her a big hug. Tommy

Dan,

Thank you for this article. I think Melissa Broder articulates one of
the major differentiators between Ernest Becker and related thinkers
like Stephen Cave, Martin Seligman and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
Becker does not shy away from the pain associated with contemplating
one’s own death. He also does not flinch from an explanation for the
evil that lurks within large scale death denial. Becker’s use of
dramatic language like “horror” and “terror” are his artistic attempts
to express the human emotion involved and the stakes in play.
