If you think about it, life is objectively and logically nothing more than a preparation to death because all we do is to make sure we're not going to die in regret:
- We try to reproduce because we believe it matters a lot since kids are a legacy that still exists after our death, that's why we'll mostly die in regret without them
- We try to form relationships because we believe a life of reciprocal love is more valuable and respectable, so you'll mostly likely die in regret if you never ascend (even if it's not your fault for being incel)
- We try to get as much pleasure from life as possible, wether in the short or long term, because we believe it matters a lot to make yourself happy since it's respectable and also because you only live once: one of your death bed regrets will definitely be not having felt as much happiness as possible during your unique but long 70-years chance
- Religion is THE ultimate cope, it was invented against the fear so wasting your life and not having felt enough pleasure, because it teaches you that your life was worth it even if you lived with extreme suffering, disability or humiliation, as long as you obeyed to the god(s) and respected the laws and followed the rituals and went to the church and read a sacred book etc.
I've come to the conclusion, after thinking for a long time about it, that THE ultimate purpose of life is to make our death as comfortable as possible.
The fear of unknown if an ancestral, natural fear in humans. And death is THE ultimate jump in the unknown because we can't exactly know for sure what happens to our consciousness afterwards, since no one can come back from death to tell us what it's like: that's why I don't believe you can die completely fearless and painless, but we should still try to make death as less of a burden as possible. And he main way to do that is to flee from regret.
That's why preparing yourself to die is unironically a very important thing, if not THE ultimate purpose of life.
