I don't see life as pointless at all... my 'purpose' was to find my role in which I could make, over the course of my lifetime, a positive contribution to my society. In that way, I will "live on" after my death... through the lives of my children, through the lessons I passed on to my students (whatever form those 'students' take), through whatever works I leave behind and through the positive memories I leave with those with whom I shared this life. And even if I'm just some average schmo and those memories will likely fade within a generation, they're enough for me to face death with more peace and satisfaction than regrets. No, I'm not eager to leave, but it's been a great journey, I'm glad I had the opportunity to travel it, but hey... everything ends. Why do I need an eternity in heaven? How boring.
