Let's play with these:
What is love but to experience emptiness, and what is emptiness but to experience love? What is sadness but to experience happiness, and what is happiness but to experience sadness? Etc. Now, these are opposing but symmetrical meanings. The pair establishes or strengthen each notion.
Now: what is life but to experience death, and what is death but to experience life? These are opposing but not necessarily symmetrical. Who has ever experienced both to tell? So, life does not give meaning to death nor death to life. It just looks it. The symmetry is a presumption made on the limitation of men's knowledge of death.
Taking this lightly is an advice: "If you suffer in this life and you want to die, who is to say that it will be the opposite of the life as you know it? Stick with your life, always better the devil you know."
