Death and mortality have always been an inseparable part of living, what do you think was the purpose of ancient and high-profile killings creating societal change?
This isn't unique to modern culture, and you're also fundamentally misunderstanding life if you think it's a bad thing.
Death and mortality are something seen as dirty by the western world, and high living is always dirty. Killing something safe and socially acceptable is the life of cowards. Beyond that, there is a deep beauty to the vulnerability involved with mortality and dying, especially in cultures that try to suppress those occurrences.
TLDR: What you consider a good life has the mortal merit of living broke in a cheap motel.
