Opposite of life is not death

Death, as has been said a zillion times before this, is just the end of this journey called life. Hence, it's not the antonym of life. I think the opposite of life is boredom. So, you don't fail your purpose in life if you die but it is an unsuccessful life if it's boring. Life needs to be interesting, it being right or wrong shouldn't be judged here. There is someone waiting at those pearly gates to decide that part. I'd love to have a life as interesting as Shantaram.

Also the opposite of comedy would not be tragedy but pornography because comedy and tragedy both can hold interest and inspire you but i doubt if pornography ever inspired anyone (other than sleaze balls!)
