My opinion is also that it is more about life.
But how?
I would say by showing the falsity of death.
From the very beginning we found that the characters consciousness are one with the one that is crowd consciousness.That is the pretentious consciousness,seeing all things objectively.All through the novel the shadow of death exists.But no one except Greasm is ready to accept death as a subjective reality.All men die and as cious is a man he also dies.But no one is ready to take death as a subjective reality.Even Ivan before his final realizing point doesn't accept death from his whole being.But once he accepts death as a subjective reality he finds death no longer exists.Death is a falsity.So by showing the falsity of death Tolstoy shows his moralistic view of life.A man would act in his life not as he should but as he feel.And by showing the contrastive attitude to death he becomes successful in showing his view towards life all through the novel.
