I didn't think you were being dismissive of it in any sort of callous or rude way. My comment was made in earnest, and honestly, without criticism. I don't think there's anything wrong with people at different stages in their lives having different outlooks on life and mortality; those outlooks are shaped by time and experience.
A young person generally hasn't seen (many or any of) their close friends grow infirm and die, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that they don't see life through that lens yet.
