Why are we always happy expecting a baby and waiting for them to arrive, and always sad saying goodbye to someone when they leave?? As if this world is the right place live!!
Long long ago, I used to feel the same way, happy for a newborn, sad for a death.
A number of years later, I used to feel the opposite. At this time I could have babies of my own, but I used to feel guilt bringing them to this "cruel" world, as I used to see it at this phase of my life.
Now, I have a third perspective. I accept both. I cherich both feelings, when a baby arrives I know he will bring joy with him to his family and people living around him. When I hear about a death I accept it, cause I am sure that this person has just ended his journey earlier and arrived to a much better place!!
It is not really about this world, this world is a transition, wherever we were before, and wherever we should be later is the real world to me!
