It is an argument against taking comfort in this particular comforting platitude.
People try to comfort themselves with the universe existed before I was born and that didn't hurt, so it will be just the same when I'm dead.
It's not really satisfying though is it, I don't want to be dead, I know it won't hurt after I'm dead, I still don't like it.
I can't say it's my view, but it could be argued the universe had a purpose before I was born, working up to me, when I'm dead it has none.
Personally I don't take comfort in any of the comforters, circle of life sounds nice but I'd rather be a line stretching into infinity.
