Is it normal to not mind if you die?

I've gradually realized more and more how meaningless existence is, and as a result I no longer really care whether I live or die. It's not that I'm suicidal or unhappy, I'm reasonably content with my life and I have no urge to kill myself. But if I did happen to die, that would be fine too. Because if I'm dead, I can't care that I'm dead. And also because it doesn't make a difference in the grand scheme of things. Is this a normal/healthy point of view?

    Honestly life is pointless and painful. I might have thought about ending it but I feel that would be selfish for my family. So I go on living trying to make the best out of my meaningless existence.

    Life is completely pointless, but its better to be alive than non existant. Have fun with life and do what makes you happy.

    Focus more on the experiences you have when you're alive. Every opportunity is one your meant to take.

    Sounds like you need to find some meaning in your life. Family, career, what have you. Something that keeps you interested in life.

    I think that's normal, as long as you still look when crossing the road and look after yourself etc.
