You go to a movie knowing it will end. You go to music concerts also knowing they will end. You go to sporting events knowing one team will win and one will lose and that too will end, but you still go. You are not going to paint us as pessimistic simply because you had a hard time in life and found a crutch now.
You're ok because you're well-fed and clothed and have personal freedom to live your life pretty much as you desire. How about if you were one of those people who are living under an oppressive government or are persecuted daily? What if you were one of those who can't get enough food for themselves and their families and have no hope of climbing out of their despair. Maybe the best thing they can look forward to is dying and leaving their miserable existence. They're probably more interested in knowing why they are here and if there is any hope for them beyond this world that they're in.
