If you don't feel some existential dread at some point it's because you aren't being honest with yourself, which is a prerequisite to moving past that dread. IMO reminding people that they are mortal and that they should find a way to deal with that is a public service. So many of the strange things we do are because we're afraid to confront the reality that we too, some day, will die.

I dunno. I think you are over generalizing TBH. For some it might be a public service. For others it might damage their mental health. It's highly contextual to where you are in life.
