Well you’re right, I can’t argue with you there. The pervasive sense of doomerism and love of gun violence that is our modern society has turned me very cynical about death.

I can almost guarantee you much prefer civilization to the natural state. It’s nice not having to find your next meal, often going days or even weeks at a time without eating, right? That’s just one of many ways that civilization makes your life better than without.
Meh, he’s better off. Life is better to those who live the least of it.
Human “civilization” is just another label for eternal hell without end.
