I get what you are saying. I was using jewed up things as a common reference point in the example. I tend to let that kind thinking glance off me. I have no no idea if death will be the end. I have no frame of reference from reliable sources, providing similar data without prompting on what they were supposed to see... It is one of those impossibilities to know what comes after life and still be here to tell another person. This is the thinking that led to religion. Everyone wants something to believe in for after they die. Since there can be know way of really knowing. We all question. Its a matter of perspective. Hypothetical... Lets say, you created something that leaves a legacy that opens up the universe for others. Say warp drive, like in star trek. You would still your life see as pointless? I would see the amazing thing I'd have done and would have been happy to have done it. I opened a universe for others to explore... I created. I gave others a better life. Again, its perspective. I choose to put the point of my life, here into my real life physical existence in the time i have. Not some unknown end that I can never know.
