"What is the meaning of eternal creation?
Is it to take the created away and reduce it to nothing?"
Thus spoke the devil; pessimism pouring from his words...
yet what he said was nothing but a futile attempt to shred down what has been slowly building up for decades, centuries, billions and billions of years...
Moments before dying Faustus took a look back at all his deeds and triumphantly screamed:
"And so I can say to the moment:
Remain, stay, you are so beautiful!
The trace of my earthly days could never be crushed into oblivion...
Through the reckoning of such ecstasy
I now take pleasure in the simple moment"
Words of wisdom...words of great mirth! This brings me to my point:
Enjoy everything, do not despair, the memory of you, the impact of your actions will echo long after the dust from your bones is spread away by the winds of time...
your bodies will die, it is inevitable...but your soul will not, life does not end, it never stops and the human spirit in its global being is immortal...
No one really goes away, a simple smile can change the future and the history of men will last further than just words carved in stone...

Well I couldn't have said it better. In a nut-shell you are asking people to embrace death and look upon it as the wonderful adventure that it is.
But not everybody are remembered when they die. I must disagree there. And I don't mean only the famous people who go down in history. You could be remembered forever by doing a good deed to someone. It only takes one act of bravery. Okay so now I get your point, and I shoudl probably go and erase what I wrote above. But I'm too lazy to do that, and I'm pretty sure that I'll get more points by leaving it like this. Sue me if you don't like it!
And oh you so owe me for dragging me from my bed and making me wait at Dunkin with you still snoring in bed! And I warn you, I expect to be fully compensated !
