I am not sure what you are talking about. No one has mentioned anywhere an opinion on death, and how one interacts with their eventual demise. That being said, Finding solace in the arms of a lover, or playing with you children (or friends), is not escapism or in any way a means of deluding oneself to our encroaching deaths. Rather, it is living with the knowledge that one day you will be dead, so why not just have fun with the time you have left. Will you be remebered across the universe upon you death, probably not, but who really cares. As long as you live your life the way you wish to live it (with certain societal restraints, of course), why should your eventual demise matter at all. We all know we are going to die, so why not just have fun until that happens
.
Then again, if it is that upsetting, you should just end it now. If there is absolutely no reason to live, then stop living. Hell, even evolution can lead to a specific cases where death is the only option (ex: the mule), so if a person wishes for the end, then by all means let them accept their end.
