yes i agree.

Life is no more the negation of death than death the affirmation of life.

Death is basically the lack of life, just as darkness is the lack of light. They are not opposites, just one lacking the other. While death can be proof of life once existed, but it is you the person that controls when it comes. To some, it comes with age; others with sickness. To those few, it comes with the inability to move on. Before they know it, they are long gone; empty vessels that remain.
