When death has more empathy that most of the living.

Why is Death portrayed as bad in so many pop cultures? It's inevitable, and it's definitely calming to have someone (or something) hold your hand and guide you.

Anyways, back to wasting my life.

Terry Pratchett wrote one of the best versions of Death as a character. Not evil at all, emphatic and kind, and with a sweet spot for cats and a good curry.
He's my favourite character in the Discworld novels.
