It isn't that my life isn't good and full of potential to get even better, hell I'm in high school and I have a desk job with a 401k and I love my classes and my friends are great but it all ends and if I won't be able to look fondly back on my memories in an afterlife then why does it matter at all?
Only you could honestly answer that question for yourself. IDK why something has to be eternal to be meaningful, or matter..personally. I find that alot of temporary things matter a hell of alot to me, how about you? Would today matter less, to you, if there were no tommorrow? To me, it would probably matter more.
