This is true...if assuming a philosophical view of death as a "bad" thing. The temptation is to assume that everyone shares your worldview. And worse, if they don't, that you can say their view is "wrong" and yours is "right". I suppose you could say that this you are invoking something immutable; but I could also say "No, you aren't." Then we'd have a disagreement. The resolution to the disagreement isn't to just say you're "right" and I'm "wrong".
