That's an extremely negative take on a beautiful, if sad, story. I'd rather focus on the positive, beautiful aspects, like the heart-touching gestures of his friends and how he hope when nothing was going his way. Sometimes that's really all you can do.
I agree that, at the individual level, focusing on the beautiful aspects seems like a reasonable coping strategy, and I can’t help but think that on larger scales of time and space, it only helps perpetuate the horrors.
