I feel like death wouldn't be viewed as such a negative thing, because people would see instances of very peaceful deaths rather than accidental causes or someone dying after protracted suffering. I think part of why people have a phobia of it is because of the negative circumstances that usually surround it. I also sometimes wonder why people view longevity as so important, when in the grand scheme of things, having potentially long life expectancy is quite a recent development for mankind.
What other reasons do you think cause society to portray death so negatively? We're encouraged to live in denial that it'll ever happen to us.
