Yes I agree, in terms of humanity I suppose it's a good and necessary thing, but subjectively I think everyone feels a certain sensation of unfulfilled potential when an inspiring, worthwhile and/or loved person dies. They may be 90 but we'll still feel aggrieved that we didn't maybe get everything they had to give. In dealing with death as an emotional issue, this is an important topic to address. That is what I think the original question was about. Of course you're right though, in the ledger of humanity, it balances out.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
