Everything in the world is made up of a mixture of good and bad. It's up to us to choose the good and discard the bad. We do this by understanding that the good in everything is life and the bad is death. Because life comes from Hashem, therefore everything connected to Hashem is life and that which is not connected is the opposite. So when we eat the food for a G-dly purpose we've chosen life. As in "U'vacharta BaChayim...".
Let's look at how we can better understand this through computer games: When we play a computer game we build and destroy worlds. We then turn it off and there's nothing left. Death. That's the story of life when one chooses only the mundane. It's gone like all the worlds, personalities and anything else one has built in that game.

Profound.
The extension of this thought is that even in death (of a person's life) it is actually life. And the opposite is that alive it as if one is dead.
I think this vort might be expressed in the yud Shvat Sicha from Chof Vov that there was no Chaim Bsoriim even during the Friedike Rebbe's lifetime.
