Death is ultimately the great equaliser and without it, we would all try to carry as much as we can from this world into the next. That not only would be stealing from this earthly life, it would also mean that equality in the next could not possibly exist, and would imitate there what the have and have not's, have here, inequality in the sharing of material gifts to the harming of Mankind, love of neighbour as you love yourself, simply because your neighbour is yourself, and ultimately only death can really separate us from the inordinate stock piling of personal wealth.
