Sense of life

Yesterday after I checked my Yahoo mail, I found a curious Question on the Yahoo main page: "Why have we been born if we will die anyway?" I didn't went over all the answers, but most of them were very simple. Some people say we were born just to adapt and reproduce, others say that we are here to grow spiritually; some people don't really have an answer.

But I think that's an important question and then we must take it seriously. Why have we been born if everything our life has been, is or will be will unavoidably become nothing? Can we have a good reason to live given that condition? Well, somebody would answer: "Why bother? Our life is the only thing we have, so the best we can do is enjoying it the most." I think that's the best answer indeed, but surely the people who apply it consistently to their lives are extremely rare. We spend a lot of time planning, worrying, regretting what we've done and what we've not... Trust me, it's very hard to change that and enjoy the very present moment as it is.
