What does it really mean

And

What will it mean to die

Being alive is chopping life, enjoying the time you have with family and friends.

Like that young woman wey snake bite, the girl been dey church for crossover dey pray and cry with all her heart, she enter new year die.
life is very very short...

Being alive give you plenty hope that all you've been pray and working for may come through one day

The meaning of life is suffering
And everything that seems good is there as a bait to put us in the perpetuation of suffering

Die; is the dissolution of what you think you are
And there are many stages

Dissolution of the body (you are not the body)
Dissolution of the ego ( you are not who you think you are)
Dissolution of desires ( there is no you that desires)

Until you are left with pure consciousness

Your very essence
That's where eternal peace lies

Consolation and hope of those defeated by Life

Life and death both have many meanings some of which you would see presented in people's comments here

Consolation and hope of those defeated by Life

No one wins the game of life everyone gets defeated
We fight death only just to die one day
We fight for a name only for that name to be forgotten
We fight for freedom only for that freedom to be watered down by tyranny
Everything decays everything dies
Everything becomes pasttense.
Everything is indeed vanity

Life is not a contest
It is an experience of suffering
Whether you win or lose base on your perspective nor of it matters in the scheme of things

Now you have changed post from life is suffering to the failures of those who were defeated by life and they termination.

Anyone who lives aiming for those things you mentioned have only found themselves plucking air, hence life must be bitter and very empty for them

Life has no manual you can aim for the best and get the lowest

You can aim for nothing and gain everything

Kendrick Lamar

Being alive is everything you are now. Everything you can feel, see, believe and know.

Being dead is something you cannot imagine. Because imagination is a function of being alive.

Hence being dead is something out of the reach of an alive mind.

But you were once dead... Before you were born. There was nothing. This is because your mind, your nervous system which witnesses and interprets everything was not yet formed then.

And so, you cannot witness anything before you were born. Hence, there was nothing (but the idea of 'nothing' itself is a quality of the living mind).

When you die, your mind and nervous system dissolves into the same nothing and so you totally loses the function of "what, when, how, why and everything else in between".

So no, we can never know what it means to be dead because we can never be dead.

To others we may die but to ourselves, we'll never experience death. Experience is a quality of a living mind.

Just as you never experienced what it was before you were born, this "you" is incapable of experiencing what it'll be like when you're dead.

This "you" is only capable of experiencing this exact moment, this exact moment is all you'll ever experience.

This is because life is always in the present. You cannot go to the future of life nor to the past of life.

You cannot go 1 seconds to the future or 1 seconds to the past. Life is this exact moment you experience.

If this moment then fails, you cannot experience the next moment. Of course people standing by, will see the exact moment you fell down.

They will see the future of your life because they will experience the next few days of you being alive.

But for you, you die in exactly one single moment in time, that single moment has no future or past to base your experience on.

And so, we cannot die... Not to ourselves. Others will experience our death just as others will experience theirs but by ourselves, we cannot experience our death.

Life is like light and darkness. You can experience light and darkness but never both at the same time.

Once you bring in light, darkness vanishes from that spot immediately. Once you bring in death, life vanishes completely.

And so, both can never be experienced at the same time or by the same person.

So what is life? We know it to be this thing you're right now and at this moment.

What is death? We can never know it and the moment we know it, we can never know life anymore.

Once light comes, darkness losses its meaning completely.

Yes, this is what happens but that is the beauty and sweetness of life especially as we all know that these things will happen. But yet, many of us have figured it out and are smiling

And that smile is what perpetuates your suffering

The carrot on the stick that keeps you on the thread mill of suffering.

I don't know where you get that smiling and suffering go together. Even the dictionary points out that they are contradictory

Smiles can be used to mask emotions
People suffering but putting on a smiling so that they can prove to others that they are happy even though facts denotes otherwise

Of course life has to contain some attributes that keeps us on the chase

But please ask yourself can you really take a break from life?
If you stop toiling eating seeking pleasure working out etc What would such default turn to if not suffering?

Kayouzka:

We all know that all these are no smiles. Fake smiles do not count as a smile.

Sweetness and beauty of life ?

People especially vast majority struggling to survive through suffering is what you call beauty ?
Knowing that many people would fail in life
And consequences aren't good

What an inverted way of reasoning.

Did you not hear your choices determines what you get in life?

"Choices are the hinges of destiny." — Pythagoras

"It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped." — Tony Robbins

"Choice, not chance, determines your destiny." — Aristotle

"Life presents many choices, the choices we make determine our future." — Catherine Pulsifer

These are only quotes from peoples whose existence cannot even be proven other than from books

What about those that aren't given a choice in life?

What about those that did not get enough education or have very low IQ and can't make right choices?

The effort is yours
But life determines the result

"You can force a horse to the river but you can't force it to drink water"

only the dead can tell you what its like to be dead.
while being alive depends on the individual for example me as person being alive means suffering because i just dey suffer since when im a child

Don't know how to explain it

But!

I used to feel alive!

Now?

Dead!! Like I'm in a fucking loop, same old, nothing exciting. And I dont see it ending soon.

Oh well , 🤷

So you mean Pythagoras, Aristotle and co need to prove themselves?

This clearly explains why life has beaten you silly for mko Abiola, lucky igbinedion, Peller, Patience Jonathan all prove that even without education and low IQ, you can make right choices

And even from here i can see that your IQ is higher than theirs and you are appreciatefully educated, yet, they beat you and made better choices while you are here making excuses.

Let shame catch you , even at 65 you can turn your life around as KFC guy and Morgan Freeman have proven

Keep dreaming
Who is after changing life in a fallen world?
My goal is transcending this reality not trying to build wealth that are not guaranteed to come even with efforts and even when they come won't bring true satisfaction.

I am not chasing life okay! I go beyond

And who told you they folks made right choices?

They made choices that turns out right

You can make right choices And the result turns out bad

Those people you mention are just 1% out of a numerous

And even though they aren't even satisfied people

Keep making excuses and making the choice of making excuses for your failures and lamenting that life has been marked you as a failure while the remainder of the world are making choices that have made them happily buy cars and houses and enjoying life.

Even, the sirchi boy making noise about failures has even tried to pick himself up while you can sit down waiting for pity party
