Human society is responsible for the choices that it makes. Human society forms one great consciousness evolving on many planes at once, the earth being only one of those planes.
The great human mind is multi-faceted. The lessons that it has learnt in the physical realm of planet earth are invaluable. Free will has allowed it to consciously make choices between destruction and creation. Ultimately neither choice is right or wrong, existence is based on a never ending cycle of birth and death, creation and destruction.
The human consciousness or mind itself can never be destroyed, only its physical reflection perishes, the physical body, the only thing which seems to die. When I say "seems" it is because although you see the life force leaving it and the body decomposing, this decomposition process itself carries energy. That energy cannot be destroyed, it merely becomes part of the overall pool of energy on earth.
Death as humans experience it is an illusion of the mind. It is a transition from one form of existence into another. The experience of death is a tool with which the human consciousness is learning on earth.
In the non-physical realms death does not exist therefore some lessons cannot be learnt. The concept of mortality and fear of it only exist on planet earth, in your physical realm. These concepts allow humans to elevate themselves from the purely materialistic realm of mind which characterises most of human society.
The concept of death and mortality challenges so to speak the human psyche into awakening to the truth that there is no death. Of course each human is free to face or avoid the challenge.
