I know this question has been asked before, but I'd still like to read more answers.
GOING ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS AFTER YOU DIE...
Many say that since life is short, you should enjoy it. Fair enough... but you don't take any of your memories with you. If you had a great life with lots of love and happiness, or if you had an awful, miserable life, it makes no difference... once your dead, it is complete nothingness... forever... the quality of your life was irrelevant.
Leaving a positive impact on others? What good does that do? All of the others too will die, also to fade into absolute nothingness.. all of their memories of you or any impact you had, gone, meaningless.
I guess the easy answer is "Don't think about it, you're going to die anyways, might as well just live life for now..." but I'm curious if any of you have actually come to personal terms with this dilemma and have a decent answer for it?
