| Why does acknowledging where you're headed make the trip pointless? Life is a journey that ends at death. Everything in between birth and death is ours to make the most of.
This is why I suggest it's evident that religions were invented to really only answer one question; does life end at death? Death is so final, so off-putting, that most people can't accept it. They want and need to believe that life goes on. Even a person who has lead a miserable life and is convinced they're headed to hell will embrace that belief over accepting that life ends at death.
So no, accepting that life ends with death does not make life pointless. It makes it absolutely precious. Every moment should be cherished and enjoyed to its fullest, as it will never come around again. |
