Setting out on a journey and being on the road are what truly matter. The road itself becomes our teacher. It's not the destination but the journey itself that is significant.
Death is the end to all the relationships you have cultivated over the years, i.e., the accumulation of your memory (past), and it is also the end of all your desires, wishes, and purposes, i.e., your imagination of the future. So can you die when you are alive? Of course you can, or at least your ego can, which is actually more you than all the vital processes in your body. What is left when the past and future are dead, the Present. So experiencing the present through death is the meaning of life.
