Since the day, people are born, they have kept living each day after day, but what is life about? Of course money, relations, status, etc. are an essential part of life but is something beyond that to life.
Every human by its very nature has got around 100 years of lifespan. Eventually, they die once their lifespan is reached and no one knows what happens after death. Scientifically there is no proof of the afterlife. Any scientific theory is accepted if its predictions match with observations, but there are no observations available about after-life. There is a possibility that observations about after-life cannot be made by simple physical means. So with probability, it is an equal chance of the afterlife being there or not being there.
If first is the case, then there is no a reason to be worried much, as it suggests the presence of supernatural powers or entities controlling the world and not only the laws of science, but it is still a question that what form of existence would it be in the afterlife? will the person be even conscious enough?
While people had the concepts of heaven and rebirth for a long time, the second possibility cannot be ignored. If the second case is true, that is world works all by-laws of science as it appears to be then sadly everyone is destined to be nothing but soil and ashes. It is not as bad to lose memories and rebirth as say ant than to never exist again.
So everyone has got about 100 years before going completely non-existent, nowhere to be found. This means everyone should live their life in the most meaningful way possible. To think, it seems so injustice that people work hard in life just to not exist forever. So why shouldn't some years of life be spent on researching on increasing human lifespan and knowing more about the universe? For people who might find this idea to be quite selfish, from an individual's perspective, even if failure comes it would be a pleasure to see the next generations of humanity solve this puzzle and die peacefully. But there is no wrong for one in trying to save his existence.
The goal here is not to live forever, but to understand intrinsically the world. And dying before that happens cannot be allowed. Until it is known what happens after death, where does our position stand in the universe, Is the world controlled by higher entities or world has no meaning as such, an intelligent decision about life cannot be made.
