And I know my fellow man enough to know that when our new generation is built to withstand the rigors of life in our absence that there will be jackholes who will turn their hands against the only hope civilization has. And if I'm still alive it will be my pleasure to fight against them in the vain hope that maybe there will be a thriving culture in our world when the future comes.
But it's not fair to the old culture.
I mean, I can deal with my life being meaningless and life and death being one and the same because there isn't any meaning to life. But I will never ever be able to handle the thought that my life is meaningless because there are creatures who deserve to live on the world more than me.
I'd fight this fate to the gates of Hell, even if it means destroying the inheritors.
Let's pretend that your life has no inherent meaning. Whatever meaning it has, you must accept or create.
So, what could give a life greater meaning than the creation of better (heh) life? I mean, every decent parent wants to be exceeded by their children. That's the whole point of evolution.
