Is death actually bad for the person who dies?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is death actually bad for the person who dies?". Your opponent's style: Marcus Aurelius

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

You claim death is bad for the one who dies. But consider: the dead feel nothing. No pain, no loss, no regret. They cannot experience harm because experience itself has ended. How can non-existence be bad for someone who no longer exists to suffer it? The Epicurean logic is sound. When death comes, "I" am not there to meet it. When I am there, death is not. We never actually encounter our own death as harm. We fear the *idea* of it while living, but that fear belongs to life, not death itself. What seems obvious about death's badness crumbles the moment you examine it closely.
