Understanding is key People often ask the question: "why do people die?" In my opinion, in order to understand why we die, we must first understand why we live. I say the meaning of life is to live it to the fullest and die knowing you had a good life. The value of one's life is priceless because the lives we live are one-of-a-kind and we must cherish them greatly.

What is living life to its fullest?
Why should uniqueness be cherish?

You only get one life, one chance, one oppurtunity. Why waste it. Uniqueness seperates us all, gives us a chance to show the world what we have to offer. Don't forget, death solves no problems by suicide, it only creates them.

Uniqueness also creates problems. Many have died and face hardships because they were different. It makes us separated from each other. Sometimes unable to understand each others ideas, experiences, and ways of thinking because of it.

I agree that suicide is no way to solve your problems.
But what if people didn't die or lived 5000 years? What kind of world would we live in? What value would life have if we didn't die?

Well, life can be looked at in many ways. And in both of your arguements, I can agree whole-heartedly. As they say, "there are 2 faces to every coin." Really, its all a matter of perspective.
