“According to Greek mythology, the Titan god Epimetheus was charged with distributing gifts to all of the animals in the world, gifts necessary for survival. Unfortunately, Epimetheus ran out of gifts by the time it was humanity’s turn. And so his brother, Prometheus, stole the Sun’s energy and gave it to man. Zeus was so angered that he had Prometheus chained to a mountain, where vultures tore away at his liver for a thousand years. Prometheus means forethought; Epimetheus—afterthought.”

“What is it that man truly fears? Poverty, criticism, ill health, loss of a loved one, old age . . . of course, let’s not forget the ultimate fear: death. Think about it, without fear, we’d have no need for religion or war. Then again, fear is the great motivator, isn’t it?
