What about the empathy of feeling bad for other members of your family feeling bad? Or friends?

If only one person was 'selfishly' feeling grief then all the other members of family and/or friends could selfLESSly feel for them right?

And...surely you feel bad that the person dying is not going to be able to experience life anymore?

Of course it won't be remotely BAD for them afterwards....but they will miss out on life....

No need to fear death because after you've died there's nothing to fear!

But on the case of a loved one...its sad to think that they won't be able to experience life anymore....not only will you miss seeing them...but you will feel bad that they won't be able to continue life I can imagine...

And you'd rather a loved one carried on living without you having ANY contact with them whatsoever than them no longer live right? So its not just about yourself is it, I think? Because I would rather my family members, loved ones and friends were alive but I never had any more contact with them than for them to just not exist any more! Even if it was painless.
