And that is where you are wrong. The consciousness has its opposite. It is nothingness, no-consciousness non-existence. Without its opposite, it would not exists. Everything has it extreme opposing state. Name something that does not.
Light - Dark, Life - Death, Matter - Antimatter... You name it. Nothing exists without its opposing state. Nothing. Two extremes define each other.
Without two, there is no one.
This life is precious just because it is so unique and because we have it for this short period of time. Not because your consciousness is indestructible. There is no after-life. Death is final, that's it. It is opposing state of life. They define each other.
If everyone realized and internalized this we would all live our lives in very different manner. Think about it...
