Answer preview

Death also pushes humans to act. If death were nonexistent, humans would have squandered their lives by doing things that do not matter. Many cultures have developed beliefs that teach the fear of death. Many people fear death to the extent that they rarely talk about it. Phrases such as β€œpassed away” have been generated to imply that a person has died. This shows that death has been treated as a taboo. Realizing that death is inevitable is crucial in pushing people to act since death is unavoidable. Death helps humans to appreciate the times they are alive, the people they meet, and the beauty that surrounds them. When humans understand that life is finite, then they can change their perspectives concerning life. The inevitability of death pushes humans to align their attitudes towards death, and this gives then meaning for living.
