when we old do we forget we were once young
when we young we don't know what old is
Your question doesn't make sense - you can't die to live because once you die you can't live - it's a duh kind of thing. Did you put a lot of thought into this? However, it makes perfect sense that we are born to die because we start dying the second we're born - for some it takes longer than others but in all cases what you do with the time you have is up to you.

its just sounds wrong that we live short lives,but death is permanent,somthing very wrong about that
“We are born to die” doesn’t mean that the reason we were born is to die IMO. I think it just means that death is our inevitable fate. It’s just a twist of words not meant literally, like “He was born to play the accordion”.

lets say no death then what, what is the need for death
@zenith01 Death is a necessary part of a natural cycle. If you don’t want to die identify with something larger. Leaves on a tree die and fall off, but the tree lives on for awhile.
Existence as a separate individual is an illusion IMO. Our true self might be universal consciousness shared by all.
We die so others can live..

who are these others
@zenith01 your children...
@Cutiebeauty that does not explain why death is needed
@zenith01 imagine a world of immortals, always having children who are also immortal. Won't be enough resources for everyone.... Overpopulation....
