So, given our shared situation, our human condition, how do rise above this bleak and inevitable reality? How do you rise out of bed in the morning and get on with life despite it all meaning absolutely nothing? Why do you bother?
Why eternity is supposed to be good? Or afterlife?
How eternity just by its mere existence is going to give us a meaning? Why it makes more meaning than death? Why should be eternity a meaning in itself?
I can't see how I'm gonna be conscious of my own death. I wasn't conscious at the beginning. I can't see why something unavoidable would disturb nor worry me. I can't see how something I'm likely not going to sense would affect me.
I got an entire universe full of reasons to get up every morning. I find pleasure in knowledge, in beauty, in relationships, in altruism, in work. Why do not bother? The universe is waiting for me and my time is running out.
