Life feeds on life. Some people can no longer bear to live. Some people feel they no longer have a purpose and would be content to die. wouldn't life get monotonous after a while? after a million cheeseburgers, sex, sunsets, isn't it time to go eventually?

Death should be a natural conclusion to this life on Earth. Sometimes life is snatched prematurely through illness or accident, but nonetheless, as birth is the first act of life, death is the last act.

But if you are privileged enough to be with a baby as it is born, and someone as they die peacefully in the fullness of time, then you know both have their place. To start life, and end it.

Perhaps the question should be, what did you do between the two? Therein lies your role.

And thus I refer you to poem called "The Dash" by Linda Ellis.

Yes, death is natural but an aspect to look at and a problem with life and death..is some people don't have the opportunity to live to a good age as some people die young in unjust ways from tragedy and disease, so in these cases, although we must leave this earth eventually, it is unfair how some are robbed early of a chance at life and haven't had the opportunity of the natural progression to old age...but listen up all old people...I'm not assuming you want to leave this world. Most are young at heart. I just pray there is a point to all of this. It would be terrible if it turns out to be meaningless. Why? Because I love my friends and family and I want to be with them forever. God Bless :o)

We are all dying from the day we are born...as it has been said before.

And yes, it is time to go eventually...I just wish it could be with out having to physically grow old in the process.

I don't think life would necessarily get monotonous, though, because it would be interesting to see the changes in our world as they occur.

Death is and of course always will be necessary for the survival of this planet...

Death is not a negative, more like the next step. i have always explained death as the absolute accomplishment of life. As it is something that we will all experience, i would like to believe that it is what makes us strive to live. In other words, I want to know that when that day comes, I have done everything that I possible could have to be proud of how I lived. It is not death vs. life, rather death defines our life. It is what makes us most human. The next step...one we will all know someday.

One of the interesting things about death is how it brings the living together. When we watch each other suffer we gain a greater understanding of ourselves and our own nature. We learn how to care and be compassionate, to lift up and not put down. Death is the great equalizer and no one is immune from the pain that death causes both the dead and the living.

Immortality would be so boring, you'd commit suicide, the same routine after hundreds of years would bore you to death...trust me.

Death is a biological fact with no good or bad attached to it. To ease oneself into the reality of death, the belief in an afterlife, seeing dead family/friends, and living an easy/satisfying existence helps to keep you from being depressed. You'll have a distorted worldview, but at least you'll be happy.

Death is a beginning not an end.
Sometimes Life could be more worst than Death.
Death is a renewal, a new chance : I do believe in reincarnation since 2 years.

Death is a part of everyones life. Death is the begining of a new life. It is not bad in any way.

The only thing you can be sure of in life is that it will end in death. Death is therefore neither good or bad, it simply is. Without the constant cycle of replenishment nothing could survive.
