If I read your comment right, I fully agree.

We take it for granted, we believe that we have the right to exist. At every turn we're trying to defeat death and illness. Trying to defeat nature's (and the planet's) mechanisms of a form of population control.

Then on the other hand, we sort of complain about overpopulation.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see people die, but on the other hand I fully understand that we must die. Me must get ill.

Those are not mutually compatible

Well, unless you take some esoteric interpretation where one can be absolved from the immediate implications of what they think are the most desirable states for the universe

If one considers it necessary for people to die, one wants people to die. It's part of the whole considering death necessary

You are right of course, it was just a poorly worded (of which I could find no better) attempt at saying "listen, I'm not a heartless d**, either."

Some people don't want to go to work. Yet, they do because they feel it's necessary.
