Why Do We Have to Die?

Death must come to all things that have life. All matter in the world is either living (animate) or dead (inanimate). Inanimate things do not change. They remain always the same. We can change the form and size of inanimate things, and particles of them even help to make up the bodies of the living things, but what they are made of always remains what it was.

Death is one of the things that must occur if we are to continue to have more life. The whole plan of living things includes the ability to reproduce themselves. Every kind of life has the power to produce life like itself and this process of reproduction is continuous. If there were no death, then the world would soon be crowded with living things to the point where there would be neither room nor food.
