You have inverted the temporal arrow. The question is not what's behind, but how much was left yet to do. Deeds left undone -- that is the tragedy.

If you've done more than your share, you have earned your retirement and a death without regrets that is no tragedy.

I hope I never earn death.

[QAPereo]

We’re all getting it, might as well earn it.

[kobeya]

I'd rather wait 100 trillion years and be done in by the heat death of the universe than any other alternative.

[QAPereo]

Sure, but sadly that’s no option.

Edit: Get back to me in a few milllion years, I guess,

[kobeya]

Prove it.

[robotresearcher]

You already did.

too late to edit:

We all earned death the moment we were born. It's part of the deal of being alive and mortal. No malice intended towards the grandparent poster!
