Life doesn't suck all the time though.
I had some pretty awesome bacon just now, that definitely didn't suck...

You should have sat out until they supplied the whole hog.
Or perhaps we're discussing the positive connotations verses the negative for us in particular... or you know, the undead. Because no matter how much you or I or he or she may be placid about death on occasion,Dean said:I neglected to mention: it also depends on how you meet your demise, yes. And that seems to be what you are alluding to here.
And as Welsh pointed out, those ultimately most affected by your death are the people around you, who may carry around their bereavement and emotional trauma for years after you lose consciousness. So the physical death-life cycle is not the only element affected by our mortality.
If you realise one's life is truly meaningless, why do you feel the need to make your interpretation of this fact bitter?CosmicJoghurt said:Think of it this way - you've got a big clusterfuck of things happening before you come to life, then you are born, and your life is a minuscule ridiculous little fraction of time, then you die and the clusterfuck continues, possibly forever.
Your life is so meaningless and insignificant from an objective point of view... at least think of death as the end of line for your miserably short lifetime.
After you're realized that - move on and make your life worth something.

Words like "clusterfuck", "ridiculous", "miserably short" all give the slant that you feel short-changed.
It doesn't sound like you really believe life is meaningless, but rather, that you think it very much ought to be otherwise.

Well, that's exactly my point. You don't want life to be meaningless. You don't like that it is meaningless.CosmicJoghurt said:Think of it this way - you've got a big clusterfuck of things happening before you come to life, then you are born, and your life is a minuscule ridiculous little fraction of time, then you die and the clusterfuck continues, possibly forever.

CosmicJoghurt: You missed the word "objective". Meaning, I believe in a personal meaning of life... which you make as you wish.

So, why is that?
Why do you feel the need to say life is miserable and ridiculous, i.e. ought to be happy and pleasant? Does it make any difference to the sun whether it is given a purpose? No, it keeps shining regardless.

The Felonius Pope said:I feel it is a given that a person's philosophy regarding death is a major factor in their day to day existence. Some of us
declare there is nothing after death. Others among us make up stories to console themselves or simply go along with
stories they have been taught. Fear of self extinction is only natural for living things, but I feel we can all take solace in the
fact that no of us really knows for sure what happens after death.
