Does Victory Require an 'Over'?

Victory

Does victory require an 'over'?
  'Victory over...'
  'Victory over death.'

But, death isn't a foe.
  It is, like the rest of life,
  a transition from one state to the next.

Death is part of life.
  It is as fundamental as
  birth, breath, bonding, belief...

There is no need to vanquish death.
  And, celebrating 'victory over death'
  is akin to celebrating 'victory over birth'.

All is one, all is blessed.
  Death, life, death, life, transform
  from then to now, from here to there.

The victory is not in conquering.
  It is in living intentionally
  through all of it.
