I make the most of the time I have - more years behind me than ahead of me. The purpose of life is to live a good one.
But I don’t consider it ‘coping’. It is what it is. I do, however, take a certain amount of comfort in knowing that the constituent atoms that make me up will, after my death, become one with the universe - worms and microbes will consume me, and their excretions will form parts of other organisms, and so one. And it’s possible - even likely - that bits of me will be outgassed from this planet and wind up somewhere else. In a very real sense, we’re immortal.
Beats the hell out of harps and halos.
