Upon disassociating one's self from the world and looking down at Earth like an alien studying the human population & behavior under the microscope, the world that we live in would seem bleak and meaninglessly repetitive. The systematic way of life: going to work, going to school, go shopping, go home, go eat, go sleep, and Lather Rinse Repeat.
For those true believers in religion, why do they invest so much into preparatory to the heavens and not on their current lives in this world when god made this world as a gift for humankind? To take it further, wouldn't it be blasphemous and insulting to god to not accept god's gift? sure seems like it.
To me the idea that this life serves no greater purpose, that life is just meaningless fertility, and that I am just a random blip in the space-time continuum, makes my life even more precious. Because my life can end any moment, I can truly embrace and appreciate life fully, taking advantage of it all while I am still alive.
