How I deal with no afterlife

[SuperMarioGamer]

It's not about life, it is about me as a human being.

No, it is about life.  There are many people that don't have the luxury to complain about the afterlife because they're too busy just trying to survive this one.

Yet here you sit whining that yours doesn't go on forever.

I apologize if I came across as whiny.  I wasn't trying to.  The point I was trying to make was that it is us as human beings who are important over life itself.  It is about us and not life itself.  Life alone in of itself is nothing more than material, but it is we as human beings who give it meaning in the first place. 

So, in my personal view, we as human beings are important here. So it is us living forever and forever being happy is what is important here and not anything else. Life without us wouldn't be anything. Without our existence to attribute joy and meaning to it, then it would be nothing more than an isolated materialistic universe devoid of all joy and meaning.

The other point I was trying to make was that it doesn't matter how much I focus on the good in this one and only life, my ability to cherish this life is always being hindered by the idea that I will just forever decay one day when I die.  That always gets to me no matter how much I focus on the good things.

If I had the ability to not feel insulted and demeaned by the idea that I will forever die one day and yet I still continued to fret, then, yes, I would be whining.  But the reason why I continue to talk about it anyway is not because I am whining, but because I absolutely cannot remain optimistic in the face of my mortality.
