Read The Epic of Gilgamesh by Unknown. Grappling with death's finality, an ancient Mesopotamian king sparked humanity's first written exploration of mortality - not to conquer it, but to accept it. Gilgamesh's greatest revelation? True immortality lies in embracing our limitations, not transcending them. His quest's failure birthed a radical idea: perhaps death itself gives life its sweetness.
