So your eloquence was ultimately a pointless waste in a pointless history of a pointless accident called humanity which is ultimately to doomed by all that science offers. I prefer to have hope in more.
What you mean is that you prefer to live in hope of an eternal future rather than to bask in the wonders of the moment.
But surely an infinite future renders any era of time and experience just as meaningless as a finite one.
There is truth in your last statement but maybe not completely meaningless but nothing in comparsion to eternity. This in itself will take a lifetime to tease out. But it would suggest the importance about thinking about the possability of eternity and the consequences that it may bring. And plz don't jump all over that last bit ( I'm not goin to start preaching Hell and Damnation ) just saying if life doesn't end at death what then? is an ancient and venerable question.
