" . . . most people are a particular blend of the necrophilous and the biophilous orientations,
- E. Fromm, 1964, on the Biophilous vs the Necrophilous
and what matters is which of the two trends is dominant. Those in whom the necrophilous
orientation gains dominance will slowly kill the biophilic side of themselves; usually they are
not aware of their death-loving orientation; they will harden their hearts; they will act
in such a way that their love of death seems to be the logical and rational response to what
they experience. On the other hand, those in whom love for life still dominates,
will be shocked when they discover how close they are to the 'valley of death',
and this shock might awaken them to life."
