The Up Side to Death

Death is a staple for life, with out it there would not be a driving force for life. Every action in nature is to extend the time between the present and death. Even as humans we do this, we take action to help savor the short amount of time we have alive on this earth. We all go out and attempt to gain wealth, prestige, love, or joy for a simple reason, to have as much of a full life as possible before the hand of death extends to us. With death comes life, the large majority of us have eaten meat at one point or another, to people on the verge of starving, the death of that animal gave them life. For those of us that take to a less, violent, diet think of it in the way of a mother leopard killing a gazelle, it is sad that the gazelle is dead, but if it wasn't for the death of the gazelle, the young leopards would perish of starvation, death gives life in many regards. If nothing where to die from a result of an encounter with another then there would be no food or space, thus resulting in a larger scale of death, the balance of death and life gives stability to our world.

Death is not only a part of nature, it is a cruelty that is used by people to gain and hold power, for it is within this abuse that we fear death. We fear this force of nature to the extent that we don't even wish to talk about it, we run and hide from it. Death makes life vivid, without death how would there be any rush or experience in life, there would be no fear of the unknown. There would not be bravery of the few, there would be no valor in the face of danger. Death, in many ways, shapes who we are and how we do things. We all rush to experience life and its riches, we run to make an impact on the world, to make an impression, to leave our own great legacy behind and why, so we live on even after the cold embrace of death has taken us. Death forges the world and those within it, without death there is little worth in living.

Death is the end that give us all some form of meaning. We all race to make connections with others in the path to death. We hunt for others that make us happy before our life ends, we seek the joy that is so elusive in this world. Death motivates us to look for a connection till death, we look for people that bring us joy and pleasure before we can feel it no longer. Death drives us to find companionship and love in the world, death is not something to be feared. Death is the driving force for the pursuit of good in the world, death makes life, a short experience, worth living. We all race to make an impact on the world, the life of others, and make the best of it. Without death there is no life.
