Neither.
HOW you live and die is a blessing or a curse and that's different for every person.

I think it depends on the life you live..If you have a blessed life with fantastic friends and family full of love you dont want to loose it do you?
I think it would be a blessing if you were dying from a horrible death or you were in a situation where there was no possible way out for you to go to be safe.
But I would think of death as a curse as I am happy with my life for now.

a good life is a blessing. An opportunity to experience our senses, learn all we can about ourselves and others.
Death is a curse if it happens too early or violently. But the next stage we enter upon death is another blessing to man.
Don't believe in heaven and hell. We all pass onto the next realm with our baggage but we will learn while we are there.

Well, life is a blessing for sure. Death... you know, death did not exist at the beginning of this world. It's a natural consequence of being separated from God -- in other words, sin. We were far away from God, however, Jesus died so we can get close to Him again
(read Romans 5:6-11); and though death is still among us, it's not definitive to the ones who believe in Jesus Christ. Those who died in Jesus are seen by God as if they were sleeping to be resurrected someday. But, in a certain way death is a blessing for christians.
Consider old people. Most of them are not affraid of daying, because they already lived and all we know that life may be overwhelming sometimes. When we die in Christ, it's like sleeping, waiting for Jesus to come for us; because the next thing we see after our eyes are open again will be the second coming of our Saviour.
For example, for Adam (the first man on earth), 932 years of living had become overwhelming for him:
"Adam's life was one of sorrow, humility, and contrition. When he left Eden, the thought that he must die thrilled him with horror. He was first made acquainted with the reality of death in the human family when Cain, his first-born son, became the murderer of his brother. Filled with the keenest remorse for his own sin, and doubly bereaved in the death of Abel and the rejection of Cain, Adam was bowed down with anguish. He witnessed the wide-spreading corruption that was finally to cause the destruction of the world by a flood; and though the sentence of death pronounced upon him by His Maker had at first appeared terrible, yet after beholding for nearly a thousand years the results of sin, he felt that it was merciful in God to bring to an end a life of suffering and sorrow." (1).
Since Adam once lived in a perfect world, sin and all the consequences it brought up overwhelmned him more than we could ever imagine. Now, he was focus on the day when God would finally free the world from sin and restore it to its original nature; and he may be rised again.
God bless you!

Life is a blessing. Death is not a curse if you die in Christ.

Both of it are blessings. Life is God's gift. Death is only a physical separation so your soul and spirit is alive. It's like your actually alive but no body. And in heaven God will give you a body which is perfect. It's like you have another life but this time better. Does that sound nice. Hope I helped you.

It depends on if you were good and obeyed God or if you were rebelliousness and disobeyed God/ If you go to Heaven it is the greatest Blessing. If you go to Hell, It is the worst thing that could ever happen.
God Bless You,
Live your Life with the End in Mind, ;-)

Depending on your relationship with Jesus Christ. Death is somewhat of a blessing because if you were a christian, then you went to heaven! Its a curse if you never had a relationship with Christ, because you would go to hell

It is a blessing. I believe that when a child is born we should be sad for his life is beginning and sins will be acculmulate along the way. When he dies it ends. Death should be a blessing. No one should be afraid of dying.
