In Buddhism, we say that life and Death is the emergence of the concept and the disappearance of this thought. Appear and disappear, the thoughts come and go ... That is what we call "life and death."
A thought occurs, that is what we call "life." Thinking goes, that's what we call "death." This means that we are born every minute and our life is constantly renewed.
Unfortunately, between life and death, between two thoughts, we interpose our ego. In this way, we perceive both life and death. The view from our ego takes for us to be happy of life and death that we hated. That's what overwhelms us.
This is nothing other than the point of view of our ego.
