Terror management theory - a basic psychological conflict results from having a self-preservation instinct while realizing that death is inevitable. This conflict produces terror, and the terror is then managed by embracing cultural beliefs, or symbolic systems that act to counter biological reality with more durable forms of meaning and value. The terror of absolute annihilation creates such a profound anxiety in people that they spend their lives attempting to make sense of it.

Religion, race, personality, national identity: we lie to ourselves.

There is a Terror Management Theory because there is a Terror Management Practice.
