Does not matter? It doesn't matter to you?
I think you aren't being honest. Matter is something that people feel is important. It ISN'T a purely logical concept.
To me, it matters that I help secure this world for my kids and their kids. At the moment, it DOES matter because I am human and I have emotions. When I die, I know it won't matter to ME because I'll be dead. But it will still matter to THEM, and I want what's best for them.. and while I'm alive, I will do so and I will continuing caring for mankind until I'm dead and incapable of caring.
To think that.. because you won't live forever, what's the point? Is just weak and overly pessimistic for no real reason other than to be depressing. To think that.. because I won't be around, who cares about my kid's kid's kids? Is just selfish and lacking of the "caring gene?".
