Why do people always say it is "sad" when someone has lived an amazing life...full of accomplishments...loved to well beyond the average lifespan and dies not of a horrible disease but rather simple natural old age?

"He dies peacefully at his home..."

Seems to me more like a cause for celebration really. Why do we fear death so much when it is simply part of the life cycle.

not sad, he was old as fuck, we should be applauding his accomplishments

I'll sign a contract right now to go out that way! And I'd be happy to do it!

His death must be avenged!!!

R.I.P.

Because no matter how long you live...it will all seem like a blink of an eye to you at the end.
I know that time has flow in my life. And seems to be accelerating. lol

I don't care if I die now or at 90...I'm still not going to WANT to die. :(

Death is part of the lifecycle for the living, that's the point.

He's dead, so now living organisms will consume his body and what not.

When you're dead, that's the end of your lifecycle, people who want to stay alive, fear that end.

He was a good man,RIP Patrick

Why is it sad that someone lived to be 93?

Rip.................
