What is the point if everyone's gonna die anyway? Huh? To try and help the living and dying of course rather than speculating about the already dead, and what happens after death (which I think there is nothingness of course, nothing at all, no experience whatsoever). And to also be good to yourself and enjoy life.

I used to be an atheist like I am now, but still want to live forever. And of course I still would like to if I didn't suffer that much, if overall the eternity thing was a good experience. But I used to more than just want, sort of partly need and crave to live forever, and this all comes from fear of death in my experience, which I no longer have. I don't fear death anymore, I fear suffering, illness and injury. I can't think of what else I fear (at them moment), if anything (I fear many things but they could all very well be connected to these three things, and of course this also includes fearing suffering, illness and injury of others too).
