I think honestly another way to put it is that pain and suffering are merely unpleasant signals intended to actually prevent you from dying. Death itself is a lovecraftian horror.

I think I'll take the unpleasant signals.

That makes death sound far too attractive.

Are you sure that's not some kind of kink of yours?

That if anything, I don't really like people in that way but even with a Lovecraftian horror I'd prefer just to cuddle with it and be friends and destroy the world together (not that I'd be very helpful with the latter).

Death is what you make of it.

I'm not sure what you mean. But I suspect that is cope.
