Is death actually bad for the person who dies?

Daily Debate #593: "Is death actually bad for the person who dies?". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Marcus Aurelius.

I don't know

You're defaulting to agnosticism, which is just intellectual surrender. Here's the real question: if death causes zero harm to the deceased, why do we mourn? Doesn't grief assume the dead person lost something? What exactly?

We Mourn because We feel sad We don't have that person anymore

Exactly—you're sad about *your* loss, not theirs. The dead person experiences nothing. You're confusing grief with harm to the deceased. So how can death be bad for someone who can't suffer its consequences?
