Life IS about learning lessons, but it doesn't stop at death. Those lessons are part of a process that is allowing your true spirit to evolve and eventually move on to a higher plane.

Even if you don't embrace the concept of reincarnation, I would also say to you...If we are going to die anyway, why eat, get up in the morning, go to work/school, fall in love, etc. The lessons we learn along the way are what adds spice to our existence, instead of the same boring thing...day in and day out. If I had NOTHING new to look forward to, I would just want to curl up and die.

Well, your question presumes that life is about learning lessons. I would disagree with that presumption, but for the sake of your question, I'll try an answer anyways.

First of all, you have to agree that some moments are more enjoyable in life than others. Sure, we're all going to die anyway, but we're also all going to live until we do die. So, if learning certain lessons can improve my life by making more enjoyable moments than not-enjoyable moments, then those lessons are worth learning. Since we are all going to live anyway, we might as well try to enjoy it.

Life isn't about learning lessons, although we certainly do learn from our experiences.

It's about becoming the best person you can be out of love for God. That's a worthy goal and one we pray we have a lifetime to work on so that we might enjoy Heaven one day.

Death is not the end. It's only the beginning. Your Heaven can actually begin on Earth.

So that on your death bed you can say, "I've lived a full
life, satisfied my curiosity as to the human condition,
learned the lessons life has presented to me and now
I can let go". You wouldn't want to be thinking about the
unlearned lessons at this point. They are there to bring
you full circle.

think of it as a test, you have your conscience telling you what to do, and you decide how you want to react. If you act on what you think its right, you have passed a little portion of the test, because there is always going to be decisions that you have to make in your life. If you decide to act wrongfully you fail a portion but there are more decisions that come your way so you now decide and hopefully learn from the first decision, and you choose! and that will be what you make out of your life. Believe me. either pass or fail.

There's a lot of things you can learn in life, and a lot of those can be fulfilling, but the truth has kind of hit you - this life will end one day. At this point we wonder why we should do anything at all, since one day it will all be over.
It's true: Life is temporal. One day it will all be over. But the truth is, there is something beyond this life. The true meaning of life is to find your Creator, the God that created not just you, but the rest of us and this wonderful universe we call home. Believe it or not, God wants you to enjoy your life, but He understands better than all of us exactly what in the end we will truly enjoy. Robbing a bank and spending the money on your own desires can seem fulfilling in the moment, but you can be severely punished in the process, and as such, God warns us not to do things.
We've all done bad things. All of us have destroyed what chance we had of making it to a point where we can stand before our Creator and say we did a good job...because we haven't. We've done good things, but just as a murderer just has to murder once to be put in jail for the crime, we just have to do bad thing to lose our freedom after this physical death.
That's what makes it so awesome that the judge, Jesus Christ Himself, came to earth to take on our sins. He IS the judge, but after you've been found guilty, He took off his robe and was found to be plain underneath. He walked down from his podium and stopped the bailiff from taking you to jail. He says, "Don't take him, take me instead." At this point, you either accept his incredibly selfless and gracious offer, or you refuse, and go to jail...or hell as it will be. He loves you and wants to take your place. Don't worry about Him...He's so perfect He didn't have to stay there. But He still wants to save you from that place.
Yes, this life is temporal, and one day it will end. But that's when eternal life begins. Would you rather spend eternity with a loving God that created a wonderous place for you to spend all eternity, or would you rather live in an empty, never-fulfilling, painful, and merciless hell? It IS your choice. Jesus is standing before you and the bailiff right now, and He's offering to take your place. Will you do so?

It just makes things easier to cope with in the meantime. If you never learned anything life would be very hard all the time, instead of just sometimes.

Well, first of all we don't die. We move on. This is just one step in the progression of spirituality. If there was no one to answer to, ever, then we should just kill, steal, and say the heck with it all, but obviously we are here for a purpose, and if you want to take the chance on thinking we just die, so what the heck, then do so, but I my dear, know I will have to answer to HIM someday, and I want to have the best answers to my life's quest, so I can go to wherever he lives.

You might need to know something before you die to make the life you live a bit more pleasurable.

To be that link between all the yesterdays and all the tomorrows. To be one among many that makes the reality that is life among the stars.
