Why do we go on living while we know for sure we are going to die?

What's the point of carrying on living, building skyskrapers, evolving, establishing cultures and civilizations when we are sure we will drop dead anytime within an average span of 70-80 years?

    Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride.

    I like the quote from the one guy "Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride. " that was a very very good saying. I think its alot like he said...Sure were gonna drop dead at some point b ut who cares...as long as were having fun and around people we love and know that theres people that love us. It makes life one of the best things in the entire world. I personally thinkg the real goal in everyones life is to live it the best the can and enjoy it while they can because you never know when it will end!

    Like some said, life is a journey to understand whatever faith you adopt and to multiply (have children to ensure the survival of the race). They say you transcend after death but you need to have this or that faith to do so. That's what life is for.

    Because most people love other people and have children so they want to be with the people they love and make the world a better place for their children.

    Life wouldnt be worth living if we didnt creat new things (ex, buildings, loves, relationships..) It would be boring.
