Before life, nothing mattered. There was no meaning. No value. No emotion. No thought. Noone to observe. No one to name things. No one to care. Just rock and water.
Life is the 1 from zero. Life allows for logic, math, concepts, representations, language, technology, emotions, meaning, and all the rest that we fight for.
Life without death is boundless like the universe.
If life is the first thing that mattered, then death is the second.
Without death, life would not know loss.
Death creates competition, speed, and endurance.
Knowledge of death creates urgency, planning, and consideration.
Death forces procreation and adaptation.
Without death, there would be only very old single-celled bacteria. Maybe not? Maybe, there are other reasons to reproduce?
