and it makes death so much more unpleasant, by way of a direct comparison.Think of the fairy tales people would have to tell the young ones in order to help prepare them for a life filled with trials at every turn. We wince at them now, but they were very neccessarily gorey.
People had to have litters of children in order to be assured of carrying on the family name. A small cut could be the end of you. Having a child was one of the biggest risks a woman could take. Wow, we have it so good, in both the area of quality and quantity (science has made "survival of the fittest" a thing of the past) that death has become a surreal topic. People take pain killers and anti depressants like candy, to avoid thinking about their own mortality. In some cultures, mortality is embraced, and considered beautiful.
Now children cry if they can't have the latest plastic trend toy...big change...
