That's one way to look at it. Another way is that this is totally irrelevant to any real individual's world view: Why should the fact that people die and suffer make death and suffering somehow things to be ignored?
I stopped riding motorcycles because the knowledge of the risk I was taking became too much. But if we simply say "well, people die, we'll all be dead soon enough," not only do we give ourselves license to simply ignore a whole lot of awful things that either should change or could change our perspective, we throw out the logic we'd otherwise sensibly apply to our own lives.
Most of us make enough poor decisions as it is without the additional rationalization "none of it matters in the long term anyway."
