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

RE: Do you find meaning in suffering and death? If so, what?
A hard question. I don't know if I can find any meaning whatsoever in death. Death is just a natural process, it's not good or bad, it just is, everybody dies, you can't stop it. I can however find meaning in other people's death depending on the circumstances and my relationship with the deceased person.

As for suffering, it's never good at first, but it can help strengthen one's body and mind, it just depends. I think going trough some unfortunate events made me a stronger person (my dad died when I was only 16) and more apt for emotional stability. For physical suffering, I don't really see much point in it unless it helps you survive in a certain life or death situation.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
