No harm meant but your post just sounds like a coping mechanism.

I could see why you'd think that, but I'm pretty sure it's not.

Nothing is purely negative, and I think it's important to keep that in mind. Especially when one's attitude and reactions can amplify or diminish the good parts.

If you want to look for coping mechanisms in this discussion, consider all the denial around the inevitability of death.
