I'm wondering how you know all this?
If someone has received brain damaged, and cannot function in life. Why then, when the brain is completely gone, one would think it would function in anyway? Paraphrased from Sam Harris.

“Rest forever, tired heart.
The final illusion has perished.
The one we believed eternal is gone.
Just like that. Out the door desire
follows hope. Rest forever.
Enough throbbing. Nothing deserves your attention
nor is the earth worth a sigh.
Bitterness and boredom is life,
nothing else ever, and the world is mud.
Quiet now. Despair for the last time.
Fate gives us dying as a gift.
Now turn from the hills, the ugly hidden power
which rules for the common evil
and the infinite vanity of it all.”
― Giacomo Leopardi
I've always found that quote calming. Everyone I've introduced it to reacts in horror.
I really quite enjoyed that. Thank you for posting it.

Why is it that just because something won't last forever, that therefore that something is pointless? Is only what lasts forever not pointless? Why?
Because action in this life is synonymous with no action; in terms of the result.
