Eventually everything dies. It's the payment for life.
This is true...but difficult to understand.
There is no way to cheat death, but it takes a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long time.
Do you think you are a human by chance?
If so then consider yourself lucky as hell, why?
Because the ratio of non-human species to the human species is insanely huge. No one really knows how huge for sure, because we don't know how many insects live on the earth, the people who give the official approximation quickly admit they really don't know.
Then there are the birds, mammal, fish, plants, and other assortments of life.
Why weren't you born as a dinosaur? Now we are considering the chances of life spread out in the chances of time. Meaning...
The chance of being born a human is 1/999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

and then some!!!!!
For every human that has existed, there have been a ratio that goes well beyond that number living also through time. We are damn lucky to be human!
Now...consider yourself lucky!!!
Or consider this...
We are much older then the universe itself!!! We had to pass through
all that life...switching forms and species, as time carves out what we are today. We start as single cells, with virtually no experience of time. Therefor, billions of cycles can pass by and it wouldn't seem that long.
As we move on, to being insects the same thing repeats...but we experience more drag though the cycles are actually less. Because ratios have changed.
Insects possess more sensory equipment then single celled life-forms. So they experience more subjective sense of time.
Moving on and skipping this on up...dinosaurs, fish , birds, reptiles, mammals, monkeys, then humans. We have already died in a sense, many times over as human beings. The story behind us is epic. But we lose the configuration
of what we knew as we pass on.
That is one kind of death. Right now you are dying as you read this, thousands of millions of trillions of times per a second. That is another kind of death (we could easily say life).
Then there is that last step. The cycle and pattern is as it is in the smallest as it is in the longest. Since birth..life...death accord from the beginning, the same pattern is building up in the long run. I can't say how close you are to truly dying. If you can get there in this life you did it!!!
Then You Died!!!! (Making you Luckiest of them All)
This is another kind of death (life). The difference is in the short term cycles that are within longer-termed cycles...though the pattern of the cycle is the same for each cycle.
It is not as easy to die as you think!
Its the final door to ???
