The Ultimate Destroyer of Meaning and Purpose

Death is not just the end of life. It's not just the cessation of biological and cellular functions in an organism. Death is the ultimate destroyer of meaning. It makes every human purpose and endeavor meaningless. Are you studying to be wise? What's the point if you're going to die just like the uneducated? Are you working to get wealth? Death won't let you take what you have accumulated with you. Are you being good? What's the point if your life will end just like the wicked's? Death even eliminates the distinction between man and beasts.

In a few years Judge Greer is going to die, and Terri Schiavo will be remembered as much as Judge Greer, and ultimately, in a few decades, both of them alike will be forgotten my most people. Death will render both their lives meaningless.
