..........................I agree, whole heartedly.....................................
The only thing is, the end comes what may.
It's not the end that NEEDS HAPPINESS,
Life needs to be Happy, being alone-friendless and sick, doesn't mean you can't be happy.
The same as being Rich, Friends when you want and Fit enough to work 12hr Days 6 Days a week for 45yrs,
That doesnt mean you are Happy.
So the end comes what may, being happy or sad at the last minute, makes no difference.

Generalizations can be tricky. Just because everyone who has lived long enough has died, don't necessarily mean I'm going to.

Besides, things fall apart after you reach a certain age. There's pain, and failing capabilities, but there are also memories to keep you warm. I tend to think that if death isn't sudden, it usually is the Happy Ending.

Still the best precaution against disappointment is to work hard at having a happy NOW. Now is also eternal, being there is the happy beginning, middle and ending.

I do know that if I ever find myself reliving "The Christmas Carol," I'm hoping that the first appariton will be BOB Marley's Ghost.

Dying is just leaving one place and going to another, which can be either happy or not, depending on circumstances. Death and birth are two sides of the same coin. It is only our culture that makes one a happy occasion and the other unhappy. The day you die is the day you are born into a new life, and that is a very happy day indeed!

"Eventually you will die."
Yes.

"Life has no happy ending."
No.

There is no denial. Your logic is flawed because the conclusion is not directly causal from your initial statement, and there are too many variables to draw that conclusion positively in all scenarios.

considerations / arguments:

-procreation:

The only physical workaround to death is procreation, where your essence for existence (DNA) is passed to further generations of offspring. For many, thoughts and the presence of family brings a sense of happiness and closure during their expiration. For most males, the simple act and remembrance of procreation is enough to thwart an unpleasant end.


-theology

Non-physical workarounds include religious and spiritualistic beliefs, and the physical limitation is transcended into a non-physical state. For many this alone is a reason to to die. Countless martyrs history has seen, it is assumed they all had a happy ending. I could go on for hours on this, allow me to simply summarize this is without a doubt the most powerful influence in the history of mankind.


Based on my arguments, allow me to correct your statement:

"Eventually you will die. If you are an atheist virgin, life has no happy ending."

disclaimer: I am not bashing anyone here - If I am wrong, please correct my logical argument and support it.

Yes, you will eventually die.....sad, sad truth...but....at the end of peoples lives, they look back and they ask themselves..what have I done with my life? Have I lived my life to the fullest? Was I afraid to try new things? Did I accomplish all that I wanted? Did I have a fruitful family life, treat my friends and family right? If they ask themselves these questions and are satisfied with what they've done they are content and ready to move on to a new adventure...life after death...People get tired after living a full life and are ready to go and a death is kind of like a rebirth because your energy will be recycled into a new creation. Your energy HAS to go somewhere after it sheds it's mass, so we live on. How we live on has to do with our perceptions and beliefs in life. You believe in a Christian God and Heaven that's where you will go...you believe in reincarnation, that's what will happen...find a higher power...it exists...the power runs through everything....learn how to feel it and you will understand all that you need to. I think you get to decide how to spend your afterlife so find a good belief system. Belief is actually power. Check it out,,,

I'm in denial as I believe that life is a case of the 'The Glass is half full, as oppose to hlf empty' I am not a great believer in being self depriciating and going on and on about how life stinks, how depressing it is and so in that kind of vein. Instead I take as many positives as I can out of my life. Yeah, mybe I am naive, but at the end of the day I don't want to live my life being a negative, cynic who harps on about their own misfortunes. There is happiness to forged out of life, I just take responsability for that and say I've got to make it for myself!

I do not view death as a bad thing or an unhappy ending. It is the completion of an event at we call life. If I was not to have a good death that would be a unhappy ending. However any death is good. Remember there is not such thing as happily ever after. And after death is another question. That one you did not ask.

Well, how "happy" your ending is is totally subjective. There's no way you can say life in general has no happy ending unless you have magical psychic powers, because how do you know some people aren't happy about their endings? You're probably a teenager, so your perspective on this issue is pretty limited, you must admit.

I would say that death can be a happy ending. Or at least a welcomed ending. If one has lived a fulfilling life and they can feel good about the life they led, then why not be happy about it. And if life was miserable for a person, then it would seem that death would be welcomed, if not actively embraced.
