I found an interesting story today, while browsing through some magazines at my school's library. Its titled The Dark Side of Optimism from The Conference Board Review (Jan/Feb Issue).
In the Indian Epic Mahabharata, Yudhisthira goes looking for his missing brothers, who went searching for water. He finds them all dead next to a pond. In despair, but still parched, he is about to drink, but a crane tells him he must answer some questions first. The last and most difficult: "What is the greatest wonder of the world?" Yudhisthira answers:
"Day after day, hour after hour, countless people die, yet the living believe they will live forever."
The crane reveals himself as the Lord of Death and after some further discussion revives the brothers.
