Do you remember all the cookies you've eaten in your life? If you were handed a cookie, would you have a hard time logically explaining why you want to eat it? It tastes good. Cookies are amazing. There doesn't need to be more to enjoy the cookie.
It's only seems complicated, because we're socially, and maybe genetically, pushed towards the idea of an imaginary big picture Good, bad, right, wrong, meaningful, wasted, etc... But it's hogwash. It's a cookie. You eat it because it's delicious. It's a nice way to live if you have a cushy 1st world existence, and can come to terms with temporary existence.
