The journey is what is important, not the destination.

You live, becauses you were born and you have to do the best while your here. There are good reason's why your here, so do the best you can. Live life to the fullest in good ways, and not evil or bad. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Think of Me often, and I will give you Peace. Then when you die in an old age, is when you will either be buried or cremated. You will not be just thrown into the dirt. Your shell will be buried and your wonderful Soul will ascend on resurection day.

Well after living life and then you get threw into the dirt for eternity you will have done this. Created get memories to think about while you are in the dirt. leaving your mark with alot of people who care about you and maybe leaving people with the pondering thought of who was that person. And maybe if you are real lucky you will have had children to care on what you have taught them and they grow up to be alot like you.

God created us out of dirt (clay) and to dirt we return. In Islam, bodies that we are in at the moment are considered an amanah (trust) from Allah (God). Therefore we need to deal with it in the most respectable way, protect it from all the harmful things. That's why Muslim women cover themselves, that's why Muslims do not eat pork, consume alchohol, or commit adultery. Because the body do not belong to us, it belongs to Allah and it is a trust from Allah.
Body is not permanent, God will take it away one day - when your ajal (appointed time - death) comes, and it will return to earth. However your soul will be brought to justice before God, after which you either go to Hell or Paradise.
Thus, body is temporary but the soul is permanent.

Most folks, obviously not all, find purpose, meaning, and worth in what they do during their lives before someone throws their body in the dirt. Look around, you might just find something worth living for, many others do.

The only purpose we have in life is that which we create. I have goals and it makes me happy when they are fulfilled. I need not have come into this world for a specific reason for that to be true.

Would you rather benefit and get all you can out of life, or just sit around and do nothing as you wait for Death? It doesn't matter if something lasts eighty years or eighty minutes; make the most out of it and get all you can out of it, 'cause you'll never have another chance at it again. As I say, aim high, 'cause you'll never shoot again if you miss. Strive for greatness, but strive softly (also one of my sayings). If I had the choice to either get out there and live life to its fullest or just mark time and wait for Death, I'd choose the first option, without a moment's second thought or hesitation. Now it's up to you to make your choice.
