Do you find meaning in suffering and death? If so, what?

RE: Do you find meaning in suffering and death? If so, what?
I am very Dharmicish on this topic. I find great meaning in suffering and even death as both have very positive yet negative effects. The obvious positive effect of suffering is that helps us mature and nurture meaningful attitudes towards others although it can do just the opposite. A benefit of death is linked with population control yet death often comes to those who have not even matured enough to experience the sensation of life.

Suffering is of more value to me than death because it helps give great opportunities for character development. It helps us establish stronger and more enduring relationships and attitudes. The suffering of child birth is one such example while a man being bored to death at a wedding ceremony is a more comical one. Suffering no matter the form can easily be used to create a stronger character for any individual
