If the afterlife existed, we would have got a chance of disproving each other. But the bitter truth is that we will never live again. Yet even this life here is just passing on as time goes by. There is no reason why we are here. We therefore have to gather our hopelessness together and create our own meanings in this life.
Some people have an impossible mission of saving the world! Others blow themselves up to qualify for the approval of their deity. Good for you! But this is the only life you and I will ever live; right now, right here. This is not a hopeless situation as some may claim, but it transfers importance from there to here. It translates false hope into present action. It helps us to live well instead of living in delusions.
Our planet earth is a grain of wheat in a vast and complex universe comprising of billions and trillions of stars and galaxies. We are so greatly insignificant that we amount to almost nothing. Yet we have this only chance to explore and to some degree comprehend it.
Whatever you see now, your possessions and including your loved ones you will never see them again when you cease to exist. That is the reason why you should treat them preciously. Do not waste your energies on the heaven that will never be, rather, concentrate on creating a meaning and a legacy you'll leave behind on earth. This is your home, and don't let religion trick you with myths of other imaginary homes somewhere else in the sky.
Remember that there are billions of people who were not born just because you had to exist. Billions of sperms from your dad all fiercely raced to reach your mum's egg and it was only you, one in the billions, who made it. That is why you are so precious. And after leaving this life, you will never exist again. That should inspire you to live extremely well and make your life extraordinary.
