If no physical body ever died, then none would ever be able to live. Are bodies are sustained purely by the death of the food we eat- animals, plants, seeds, everything is life that exists for a while and then goes on to sustain other life. The constant rise and fall of physical forms is the flux that defines life.
Our bodies constantly create new cells and tissues as others die and are broken down. This is how it maintains itself as a functioning being. And so the earth as a living organism does the same. The individual is irrelevant in the face of the Whole.
