It's a fundamental part of being human, no? Making sense of things, organizing thoughts, labeling objects, people and places, etc. And yes, it's also fundamental to run from big thing with sharp teeth Tongue
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
