"Has anyone supposed it lucky to be born? I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die, and I know it." -Walt Whitman
As opposed to the overall conception of life and death, Walt Whitman believes that death is just as important as life. Think of it this way. If death were not here, this world would be completely be overpopulated, and one would live on forever, not knowing what it was like to do anything. One would just wander around the globe, gradually getting bored with all the sights that the world has to offer. He or she would eventually stop caring for material objects in this world, and things that give pleasure. There would be no such thing as a bucket list, because everybody would have plenty of time to do everything before they die. Many people just don't value the end to their existence as much as they ought to according to Walt Whitman.
