The actions we perform during our life, as well as the thoughts, are universally pointless. We'll have no recollection or feeling of said actions or thoughts after death. We won't be able to look upon them or contemplate them. The memory's of your actions, feelings, and emotions will never come into play again, nor will you care if they do, because you are factually nothing. It's quite identical as if life never occurred for any organic to begin with. We as organics all share something, equality in prenatal, and equality in death; being able to do nothing, and being nothing. ( more specific you'll still be energy of some sort, disassociation of matter, etc.)

It is not worthless to me now. Nor is it worthless to my friends and family now.

Every car you or I have ever or will ever own will some day be crushed at a junkyard, and rust into oblivion.

Does that mean that right now, while you own it, is worthless?

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
