Birth and death are the bookends of our lives. Living towards death in time gives one’s life a direction and framework. Death does not teach anything.
Life teaches everything. If we are what we are, it is life which gives it's meaning, and not death. The wise person thinks of nothing so little as death.
When a wise person or philosopher thinks about death - it only makes him to think of ways to live fully immersed in the life that we have. We have so many years for happiness or a good life. There is nothing like "happy ending" for life.
The way we live gives worth to life. Death is the road to final destination. Life is the travel.
The soul is the guide. When the mind and death are transcended, man will have a new home: Light - the Light of the Beyond through wisdom.
