The Purpose of Death

Everything dies. Everyone dies: humans, machines, migrating birds, beliefs, families, doubts -- everything. We perhaps will never learn the purpose, even if we have faith in a "higher power" -- as I do.

There are no doubt physical and mechanical laws governing this. Or perhaps reasons in faith beyond our ken. The only thing we can be sure of is that everything does die, in its own time, in its own way.
Mankind didn't cause death; mankind is not responsible for it. Perhaps the higher power is the cause of death?

It is an age old question discussed by every religious tome and in every college dorm. And it is a verity.
