Mankind is a creature unique unto itself and wholly singular based on the single concept that it has the ability to contemplate the conditions of its own demise. We find ourselves still fearful in this universe on the idea of our own death regardless of the fact that we KNOW that there is a afterlife and we can even travel there and visit the place of our final rest after our death from the mortal world. It is the fear of the grave that gives perspective on life. Until one is able to realize their end they can not place their beginning truly.
"Your cradle stands within your grave" -- Eyruaad the red dragon.
The thought of a mind that has returned from its death can prove to be a very heady tonic. Our minds are hardwired to the concept of the mortal condition being on of a temporary state. The thoughts that arise from the mind of a mortal creature brought back to life with the onset of mental changes that could trigger from the additional opportunity at eternal youth grants further measure for changes within the mortal thought process. Regardless of the fact that one such creature may still be destroyed the prospect of a opportunity at immortality is far better a chance than a mortal life.
The prospect of immortality through unlife as far as my study can portray, has the opportunity to only prosper in the minds of two major mental archetypes. I will outline them here.
Self - A mind that is centered upon oneself has a great opportunity to last the ages. As the mind continues though time it has the ability to focus on the internal mechanisms of the mind and body to avoid detachment from the world around it fully. A lesser mind would focus on the fact that it has had a major physical detachment from the common mannerisms that constitute human life. A mind that is unable to focus in on itself often fixates on this loss of "humanity" and often leads to self termination within a few hours of reanimation. In turn a mind that con focus on self will take to what it has left as opposed to rejecting its condition for what it has lost.
Action - Though this mental archetype one is often able to find the many people who pride themselves in their work or who toil to better themselves in any way. There are many differing sub types in this overall class of mind but it is most commonly seen is one who acts with a reason as to why it does things. The mind is commonly aware of this choice or opinion on a subconscious level but it is there. The murder who delights in the death of others, the body builder who takes pride in their form, the woman who spends endless coin on her appearance and clothing, the breeder who always wins the livestock award at the festival. They are all types who act with passion in their work even if they take some small measure of satisfaction in their work or actions. Such a mind has the ability to focus on the task at hand and also to go beyond that and divert its attention to the task at hand as opposed to growing distant over the many years. Often a undead after a few years many undead grow lethargic without supervision where as such a mind can continue to grow or progress.
There are many other mental types to go through and there are also many exceptions to this rule of what mind can survive undeath but the exceptions are rare but they can surpass expectations by far.
