Though death is a daily fact, it is a wonder that people should behave to be immortal.
No, it's just wrong. The second clause, alone, could mean "it's amazing people try to behave well in order to be granted immortality by the gods" but no, it's linked with an antecedent that situates the second clause as expressing something in spite of the inevitability of death. So Bob's your uncle.
It's not just confusing, it's wrong.Whoever wrote the original sentence might have implied what I think it is. It's the wording itself that is confusing.
The OP was asking about grammar, not about metaphysics. The sentence is wrong. (The grammar is wrong). How people should behave in the face of the ever-present prospect of death is not a subject for this forum.Though death is a daily fact, it is a wonder that people should behave to be immortal.
This sentence is not grammatical. The truth value of a similar sentence in correct grammar is not in contention.
What I meant to say is this:
Death is a daily fact. But can you imagine our purpose in life is to purify ourselves? Spiritual discipline will help us become immortal. We won't have to reincarnate again.
