Why do people have to die?

I heard that question on TV the other day. The answer the person gave was to make life sacred. I thought that it was a very good answer. Which of course led me to thinking is life less sacred for the immortal? The problem is that vampires aren't really immortal. While they life a long time and if their life isn't threatened much they might start to take things forgranted they really don't fit the life isn't sacred motif. Really you'd have to be truly and absolutely immortal. Like Gods and Goddesses. Those two groups are usually truly immortal and frequently throw peoples lives around like chess pieces. Life isn't sacred because nothing can hurt them. People have come and gone for so long that most of the time it's just safer not to think of them much. So even those who are mostly immortal would find life sacred usually. Of course there are always the completely insane. They never find things sacred.
