So then life is good? Great, we're on the same page. I'm honestly glad you feel that way.    And does knowing that death being the end of life (something good) is completely unavoidable, completely unchangeable, change anything for you?    It can't be escaped, so why spend all of the time you do have free from death thinking about it, fearing it? You don't change anything. You only waste the time you do have on the most meaningless topic.    Does knowing the eggs in your fridge will inevitably go bad stop you from baking a cake with them while they're still fresh? No, because cake is delicious and depriving yourself of cake because you know the ingredients have a time limit is nonsensical. Similarly, does knowing the eggs will inevitably go bad stop you from putting them in the fridge so you can extend the time in which you can use them? No.    Likewise, knowing there is a time limit to your life shouldn't stop you from living it. Nor does it make it nonsensical to try to extend it, it's just that at some point you might as well bake the cake, because the end is inevitable.
