Question

Answer 1

Life gives meaning to death. Death does nothing to give meaning to life. Death is the end of a physical life and is a completion of that live. What the meaning of that death is based upon how you live that life.

Answer 2

Samuel Johnson once said that "The prospect of ones own death wonderfully concentrates the mind." I have found this to be true in my own experience--at times when I have had a "close call" or otherwise have seriously thought about my own mortality, I have found myself wanting to cling quite tenaciously to life, in spite of whatever miseries I may have to endure along the way.
Actually, the whole prospect of the process of dying holds more terror for me than death itself. The "rational" part of me believes that death will essentially be like a "dreamless sleep" from which there will be no awakening. As I have grown older, however, the prospect of some sort of "afterlife" has taken on a certain growing appeal for me (although this may simply be some highly wishful-thinking on my part)--but this idea hasn't lessened one bit my desire to cling to life and make it seem so very worthwhile. Every day I try my best to do something, even some small thing, that I consider meaningful and worthwhile.

Answer 3

Great question. Indeed death gives meaning to life.

The cheerfulness and vivacity of youth are partly due to the fact when we are ascending the hill of life, death is not visible. It lies down at the bottom of the other side. Towards the close of life, everyday we live gives us the same kind of sensation as the criminal experiences at every step on his way to the gallows. To see how short life is, one must have live long. Up to our thirty-sixth year we may be compared, in respect to the way in which we use our vital energy, to people who live on the interest of their money. What they spend today they have again tomorrow. But with the age of thirty-six onward, our position is like that of the investor who begins to entrance on his capital.. It is the dread of this calamity that makes love of possession increase with age.

At the end we meet death. Just as experience begins to coordinate itself into wisdom, brain and body to decay. Everything lingers for but a moment and hastens on to death. The fear of death is the beginning of philosophy and the final cause of religion. The average cannot reconcile himself to death. Therefore he makes innumerable philosophies and theologies. The prevalence of a belief in immortality is a token of the awful fear of death.

Just as theology is a refuge from death, so is insanity is refuge from pain. Madness comes as a way to avoid the memory of suffering. It is a saving break in the thread of consciousness. We can survive certain experiences or fears only by forgetting them.

Thanks for a very important question to deal with. Have a great day!

Answer 5

The idea of our own death drives us to employ some means to not think about it. When people talk about meaning in life, very frequently what they are really saying is to keep so busy and focused on small happy thoughts that we do not have time to think about our own death.

But meaning comes from living for a real purpose and real purpose can only come from God

“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell (noted philosopher and atheist)

Answer 6

Birth and death are the points that separate life from other states of being... in that sense they define a life...... however, that does not give any meaning to life... it is life itself in how it spans that alone can give any meaning to life.

Thanks for a great question.... made me understand for the first time the difference between 'definition' and 'meaning'!!

Answer 7

Death to me is time for rest and a deadline for what to do with my life. I don't think death itself gives us meaning to life, but stresses us to find one... or some of us since I'm not actually trying to find one. I know what I want to do, but I am not exactly sure if it would mean anything.

Answer 8

No, death gives a time limit to life. You can't live your life thinking it will be exaulted by death. You must do things for your own reasons. Many great people and deeds are forgotten.
