Lol, I didn't mean that literally. My point is: life is worth living for its own sake. If you think it's meaningless because it all ends once you die, then that's sad.

Clinical death and actual death are not the same thing. And even in your definition of "come back from the dead," nobody does it after whole days.

I know you didn't mean it literally and I for one believe it is critically important how we live our lives. 
You are obviously misinformed about cases of returning from death after days, it has happened, and well documented. 
Reality is, once the heart stops, breathing stops, and brain activity ends, the person is dead, not near death. Any physician will tell you that; otherwise they couldn't call the time of death.

It's not a fact but anecdotal evidence like alien abductions, Elvis sightings, etc.

Can you prove that? Or are you unwilling to look at any evidence that may challenge your beliefs?
