Those concepts are linked to your human senses and to your body's needs. How can you conceive happiness without the concept of pain, sorrow ? I think that if there is no pain, there is also no joy.
You only appreciate being with your family because you can lose it.
IF the afterlife exists, the human mind can't conceive it imo.
I think that we were made to be perfect and life forever and that is a part of us. Since the cells in the body just keep rejuvenating science can't really explain why we die. It seems that we shouldn't.
Perhaps the reason people seem drawn to some sort of afterlife is due to some of this.
