I want to make a few points out to people:

Nic O: I understand what you're saying. Life and death works together to give meaning to a person's existence. My argument is that there's the whole balance in life, so if they were to both help give meaning, I would imagine that both give the same amount of meaning towards existence.

papeche: Lots of things in life are frustrating. However, if you were to ignore the frustrations in life, you will soon begin to forget them. If we forgot the inevitability of death, then we will get the notion that we literally have all the time in the world, meaning that we won't live life to the edge. That's how I see it. You can't ignore death or try to forget about it. You have to keep it as a reminder as you live through life.

DrEvol: I like what you mean about death being the greatest loss. What I disagree is that the fact animals don't seek for pleasure. Domestic ones do, being more pickier than the wild ones since they don't have a home

guru: So if death wasn't here, then life is all we have left. Meaningless or not, we wouldn't know until death comes by to realize if we had meaning in our lives as time passes by. It's an opinion, but I think we shouldn't waste our time wondering about our own meanings in life and what we should do, regardless of the satisfaction we would receive if we did discover our meanings. But I mean, if death doesn't come by, then we can spend life thinking if death could have give us more meaning to life.

Blue Crayon: That was a good one, and you do know.
