Death is a tremendously valuable companion. It’s a constant reminder never to take our lives for granted.

If there truly is an afterlife, why live every moment to it's fullest? If you have an eternity, doesn't this just trivialize the physical life?
The after life appears to be a concept made up from those who don't wish to take responsibility for the life they are living now (e.g. I will always have another day to change).
The concept of an eternal afterlife trivializes our current existence. If I have an eternity, what difference does it make if I piss away 75 years? It's just a "cosmic wink", or so Steve says.....
