對人來說，死亡並不只是發生在片刻的終止性事件。個體生命一經產生，便即規定了生命發生和發展的原因，同時也規定了生命衰竭和消亡的原因，死亡與生命的過程同時發展和完成。死與生同出於自然，然而，生總能給人帶來希望和歡樂，但死畢竟是無比可怕和悲慘的事情，人類無論在感情上還是理智上都是無法輕易接受的。人類總是在有意無意地起用種種策略和手段來頑強地反抗死亡的命運。由於人生觀的不同、價值觀的差異，使得人類對抗死亡的策略呈現出多樣性的特點，但歸納起來主要有以下幾種方式：回避、信仰、創造、達觀、享樂，等等。

Death is not solely an instant and ultimate event for a human being. Once a life comes into being, it not only sets the reasons for occuring and developing of the life, but also for declining and dying of the life. The dying process is going on and ended along with the living process. Death and life are both the natural phenomenon, but the life always brings the humanbings hopes and happynisses, nevertheless the death generally makes us sad and desperate. The mankind would not easily accept the death truth both in emotion and reasion, and usully adopt all kinds of possible strategies to fight against death consciously or unconsciously.
