User blog comment:ElementQueen/Hero or Villian? Which would you choose? Why?/@comment-5060540-20130527140458/@comment-4867780-20130529235037

We cling to life because that's just how our brains work - just like animals. The difference (and biggest problem) is that we know we'll inevitably die at some point, we even have a rough estimation (lifespawn). And no matter what we choose to believe, deep down we know that's the end. This simple knowledge invalidate the very concept of meaning, and drives us to the conclusion that life is little more than a pointless burden. So all that's left is to make the best of whatever good it has to offer while we still can.
