the gods are said to live lives of fabulous luxury, reveling in every conceivable pleasure, without a thought for the spiritual dimension of life. all seems to go well until death draws near, and unexpected signs of decayappear. then the gods' wives and lovers no longer dare approach the,but throw flowersto them from a distance,with casual prayers that they be reborn as gods. none of their memories of happiness or comfort can shelter them from the suffering they face;they only make it more savage.
