The most urgent of questions

I see many people die
    because they judge that life is not worth living.
I see others paradoxically getting killed
    for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living
        (what is called a reason for living
         is also an excellent reason for dying).
I therefore conclude that
    the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.
