The reason death sticks do closely to life isn't biological necessity -- its envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, loosing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud.
