Hare Krsna
"The living entities in the material world, not only in the present but also in the past, have been involved in trying to solve the problem of birth and death. Some stress death and point to the illusory existence of everything material, whereas others stress life, trying to preserve it perpepetually and enjoy it to the best of their ability. Both of them are fools and rascals. "
Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.13.6
