let me give a example\nlet said the world is like a glass filled with water.\nthen someone add more water into the glass which cause the water to overflown .it mean glass full of water mean the amount of people lived inside the world , when people is born they are bought into this world destroying the balance causing the water to overflown but the water that pour is still inside.we die to maintain the balance of the world or else the world will be overflown with people.\n\nwe live to enjoy the time given to us and to mark the our living or our name

I have also nearly died a bunch of times.\n\nI've spent a long time thinking about this and read a bunch of books. I'm not sure there is a real reason except to live happy and help others to live happy.\n\nIt sounds so simple and stupid, but we have to enjoy being alive (the near death expeirences were possible reminders that we took life for granted).\n\nTake extreme pleasure in the simple things. Freinds and family are all that really matter because money and all that other junk is just temporary.

"Life" is simply a state.  It is the synchronous operations of billions of cells in your body, and if you will atoms, arranged in such a way to function together as one.  Thus, death would be the ceasing of that function.\n\nIf you mean "sentience", that is consciousness, this functionality comes from within the brain.

just as in life... different things happen to different people, to some extent depending on where we have come from and what we expect and deserve.  but not entirely... death is always a surprise!

when we die, our brains die too.. so, we can no longer think or be aware of anything. if its true that we dont have spirits, then, when we die, we just stop existing. but if we have spirits, then, when our bodies die, the spirit will just move alone without the body.

one who's born have to die one day no matter what form it comes in. but this doesnt mean u step back from things thinkin by thinkin about death. its god who writes fate and it is written from the time one comes in this world. so dont worry if u want to go for it go ahead. all the best.

Bring in a baby tree in a small clay pot.  \nDo they all reach their life expectancy?  \nWhat is the cause of death.  Without cancer, heart disease, etc.  fewer diseases yet shorter life spans than humans.  Murder!

Life has some aim for all of us, we may not know. I or anyone else, even a baby in the womb dies because some purpose has been acclompished by that death.\n\nOnce dead, I probably wouldn't care.

that is a fantastic question that you did.  have you considered about born and death. coming is a start and going is an end. there is something in between them which are finding the meaning of the life or living.

A good question indeed. Why do children die? While asking, why are people born with major disabilities? Why do people constantly suffer in this planet? Why do bad things continue to happen, even though there is suppose to be a loving God? \nThis all depends on your faith. Biblically, God created Adam and Eve in perfection. No diseases, no suffering, etc. They lived in a paradise, with no worries about food and drink. They were told to multiply. So all the newborns afterwards should have enjoyed this fantastic way of life. Unfortunately, because of Satans lies, they disobeyed God, got kicked out of paradaise, would have to toil hard for their fruits, Eve's childbearing pains would increase a hundred fold, and they would "die."  This all came to be true for them. Sure they lived to about 900 years, but they did eventually die. From that point, all their offspring would be imperfect, and be subjected to all forms of misery. \nHere we are today, far from perfect. Our world system is flawed causing great hunger and suffering. Most accidents can be avoided with proper education and direction, but since this is sometimes not practiced, accidents do happen. We still die. \nThe Bible though shows that death is the price we pay for our great sin. Death is also a deep sleep with no memories, no feelings, no concept of time. It's not some netherworld of suffering or delight. In Revelations, God promises a great resurrection of pretty much all those who have died. This resurrection will be in much better conditions, and with new healthy bodies. We will then have 1000 years to reach that state of perfection that God wants. Then we will be tempted by Satan again. Some will follow Satan, even in the best of conditions, and will have to be destroyed for good. The rest will then live in eternity as God had wanted it to begin with. \nSo why go through all this trouble. Supposedly it's to prove to all the angels and people that God's way is the only way. Are we at the last days, I can't really say. Time will tell.\nAnother theory is reincarnation. We came to these bodies to experience life in different ways. We die, then come back later, born again in a new life. Over and over again. Kind of like the movie "the Matrix," were life is like a dream. If you have an accident, get a disease, or are killed, you die and go back to home base, take a break, then come back again when you're ready. Who's to say what's right.

the purpose of human death is for you to die. when you die you make room for another to live. your body turns to dirt and dust to feed the earth. beautifully simple isn't it?

Our brains are like brand new computers when we are born.\n\nThe computer is quite powerful, but you have to install the software applications you like, and you have to produce and acquire information that interests you.\n\nIf our brains had been full of knowledge at the moment of birth, life would be predetermined; you would not experience life as a unique and original experience.\n\nIn fact, as we grow older and our minds are more and more cluttered with information, memories, experiences, etc. we tend to be less open-minded and, as a result, we tend to experience less of life than the young child for whom everything around him is almost magical!

Life begins when we realise the purpose behind our existence. Life is not just taking birth, thats just the existence. \n\nExistence + Wisdom = Life\n\nA scientist may answer to this question in a very different manner and a philosopher may answer something else.

The only reason that we are afraid to die is that we really do not know what is going to happen after we are dead so we are afraid to die . although there is a lot of information given to us by our religious leaders but how do we know that they are telling truth or not so we are just assuming that this will happen. there is no scientific facts about the time after death occurs so we (humans) areafraid. so when you say you donot want to live but keep on living is that because we are afraid of the realities of the life. KEEP LIVING ON AND ENJOY WHATEVER LITTLE YOU HAVE.

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.\n\nThe meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.

Because our body just like every other living thing needs to excrete waste and other harmful chemicals in our body, and things that are unnecessary.  If we didn't, we'd either die, or our bodies will turn everything we eat into fat or something...

We start dying as soon as we are born. I think death is a part of life and one has to accept it. I had a close call with death thrice in my life but still never have nightmares about it. I am not scared of death nor do I invite it. All I know is that I will accept it peacefully when it comes. If I do expect something in my life related to death it will just be a peaceful and painless death. Something like dying in a moment without suffering with the pain for long.
