Everything dies in one way or another. Each moment that passes means the one before has died. We have lived that moment to see the birth of a new time. Each thought, feeling, smile, even a tear must have a beginning and an end. Every word I write or speak has a beginning and an end. There is an end, a death, to nearly everything though we may not always see it or believe that to be possible. This must happen that we may begin again, be replenished, and continue to exist.
A scientist may say that we are one big mass of energy and that everything that exists is also a mass of energy. The scientist may also say that energy just exists and that it can not be created or die. I am by no means a scientist but I can tell you that science says that we can evolve. Evolution also involves death. This death takes place in the form of change. Another word for change is transformation, a death from the old form and a birth of the new.
Spring replaces winter, summer comes from spring, then summer gives way to autumn, and autumn dies to winter. Death is just another word for the end. It is the way our body replenishes itself and the way that all life turns. In spring the trees give birth as natural as can be, in summer the trees become lush and full. By late autumn the trees are prepared to shed their aged leaves to give the chance for the next birth. The leaves turn to bright colors and as winter approaches those colors fade and die leaving the indication that their time has passed.
Our bodies are no different than those trees. We produce millions of cells inside our bodies that die and then naturally reproduce. Our skin for example dies each year and is replaced completely by new skin cells. Women have natural cycles that cleanse their bodies and give them the opportunity to bring forth life. Men have cycles that give them the opportunity to create life. These cycles are renewed constantly without any effort on the part of the man or the woman.
The growth cycle is another way we constantly die and are reborn. We die to ignorance and are born to the knowledge of speaking, walking, teaching, and living. Our bodies grow to fit our ever changing life. Leaving our small self behind and bringing forth a more mature image of what we once were. As that maturity continues our childhood fades and our adult life begins. The child in us has been laid to rest so as to make room for the adult we are to become.
Death is a natural occurrence in everything in life. Even our thoughts can die.

As we choose the quality and possibilities that we allow in our lives, so do we choose the quality and even the possibility

Death may be "fated" in the sense that every physical life form on earth must die to make way for new life, but reincarnation
