Sorry for being snarky. I am sincere. I really do think that death is not such a big deal. It sucks, but it sucks only because of the negative sensations it causes in those left behind. All that said, I don't think you gave me anything but an appeal to emotion.

Arguing we should seek pleasurable experiences is also an appeal to emotion.

It's different. The fact that I feel bad when confronted with my own mortality doesn't mean that mortality is bad. The fact that I feel bad when so confronted does mean that the feeling is bad.
