>We're humans, so we should embrace humanity
I don't see the logical connection here. funnily, Jesus taught the exact opposite too;

>Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.

>the beauty
pessimists don't deny the existence of beauty, they just say vast majority of life is oppressively ugly.

>gift of life
life is not a gift. if you were asked to have it before you were born and had seen the world and your life beforehand you wouldn't have traded it with the serenity of inexistence, which is where you will inevitably return to anyway. this is not how you treat an actual gift.

life is more like a punishment, a debt, a bad deal that you were forced into without prior knowledge. which is what Christians think of it as, according to them we are all sinners. we are guilty of being born and we pay the price by living (suffering). which seems to hold up with every evidence being alive provides.
