This cannot be answered as we don't fully understand life and living and what love is.  We know nothing of the nature of death. We have seen it happen to others, close or distant; we all are touched by what we see and feel but that is not death either, that is reaction.  Life is enter, death is exist.  They don't necessarily mean beginning and ending.  The body obviously becomes old and ends.  You are not just a body a mind or a thought.  There is a mystery in all this, maybe understanding life fully holds the key.

Beautifully put.

I think everyone makes their way through childhood feeling okay, and loving to learn and gain knowledge and experience new things.. to being a teenager and thinking the world and everyone in it hates you, to young adulthood and the BAM - it hits you one day that you aren't gonna live forever and its the most horrible thing because you realise then that you've hit adulthood with a thud. I dunno though, I realised all this a lot younger - I was a depressive teenager I still sit even now and can't quite grasp 'forever' its a far out concept, truly...
