I was thinking.
I was watching The Nanny when Fran and Maxell finally have their honeymoon, but get stranded on an island. Maxell gets bit by something, and when Fran tries to comfort him, he says "Honey, I'm dying."

Now here's where my thought comes in, a thought I have had before;
If at the end of every life, we die, then don't we spend our whole lives dying? Dying just means getting closer to death, so every year we live is both a year we've avoided death, and a become a year closer to it?
