Since the concepts of the immortal soul, rebirth and the other world, inhabited by the spirits of ancestors began to disappear from everyday life, life has become more difficult.
Even the most materialistic materialist with strong nerves prefers not to speak too often about the fact that life is one, that before you you were not and after surely will not be. As such arguments inevitably devalue this very unique life.
To do something, do something, if you are only the result of chance between two infinities. Infinity before you, infinity after. Moreover, even the very consciousness, your priceless and ardently beloved "I", terrible, cruel materialists reduce to organic chemistry in an unreasonable mechanistic flask-universe, controlled by a pair of three physical laws. But the materialists are also people and the human that remains in them (a joke), riots and demands to strain the brains and urgently sweeten the pill.
Thus, various mental constructions of the type appear: "He will remain forever in our hearts (thoughts)," "He will live in his own affairs." Many are anxious to: "leave something after themselves." Or is this the conclusion: "life is one - enjoy, take everything from life." That formally is also wrong; what difference does it make how you lived your only life - there is no more of you! All this together seems extremely clumsy and helpless fictions and from the endless repetition has long been lost and the meager proportion of the meaning that was in them.
But how good it was before - if even all my life I tried and tried as hard as I could, in the next I would be born a fur seal, which is insulting of course, but you can live ...
