To what extent is your view an adaptation to how things are currently (and I agree it can be good to have a positive outlook on things you can't change) and to what extent do you think it's a strong analysis of how things should be?

Let's say a mysterious virus spreads through the population, and edits all our DNA with the only effect that we all suddenly gain negligible senescence - people still die from accidents and acute diseases, but everyone retains the same level of general healthiness as a young adult with no aging. In that situation, would you be advocating that everyone take medicine to turn aging and death from aging back on?
