That's kind of a Debbie Downer. 

Why keep living,...... how about to procreate? It's a hell of a lot of fun, even when you just practice. 

You have no clue how you/your life may impact the world, neither do I. You could be that one butterfly.

But that's the point. 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?

Why live for death when you can live for now and tomorrow. Life matters now why would you wanna spend eternity reflecting on it  rather then just enjoying it now.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
