The point of life is to simply get to know and love God. And to that end, we are given unlimited chances. Pretty much covers it!!!!

Alright, and now another question to tag on, what is death to all of you?

When I can think no more, and thus not be.

Life is live!
And death?? Death is just a portal to another dimension for your mind. And that portal will bring you to Heaven, Hell or a vast nothingness. Utter blackness.

I view death as the ending of a story. For all I know, it could also be the start of a new one, but I don't know what lies afterwards.

death is something that we must all face someday. To me it isn't scary, dying is just a part of the life cycle, we live - we feel, we think and we exist. death is a big part of that, I don't fear death because i don't think anything beyond it - my only regret to die would be to leave behind those i love and care for, to cease to be without having the chance to express my views and my ideas.
But then...in the end I step back, look at the world and let the nature of being simply..here wash over me, and in that contemplative state of the world and its troubles I find solace, because there is no point fighting against something we have no control over. So death is just...death, we all have to say goodbye someday ^^

Death is just the end of a chapter.

Death is just like changing your shirt. Since you always get another shirt, why should you be afraid of changing clothes?

Life:
Constant self advancement. Just find what is right to you and strive to keep that path. Doing the right thing, to you, at every corner. Being sure enough in yourself that you can defend yourself against others who don't view your right as their right. Don't ever be forceful with your morals, but there is no reason to be a push over. It's not tyranny, it's protecting the worthy, and you are always worthy of yourself. Teach those that seek your help, let those be that don't wish to listen. At the end of the day if you know you did the right thing by your personal morals than you can die happy and just be.
Death:
The end of being. I don't try and figure it out. I enjoy the mystery, but I think the biggest part of death is how long you live after you've passed on. How many people remember your teaching. How many people respected you. Not how many attend your funeral, or who decorates your tombstone, but who truly remembers you. Family should be a given, but what about that random person you talked to for a few moments? Did you use that time wisely? Were you the person you want to be? Hate or love you, they will remember you.
That's a simplified version of both of them pretty much. I guess it's hard to formulate words for this kinda question. It's a good thinking exercise to sit back and actually try.
