I look at it more as, "Yes, it ends, but we have now. So let's have a blast while we last."
And eat dessert first, because life is short.
I think about this too. We have fire, and we have ash. The ash seems obvious enough, and we treat it with respect, but where does the fire go?
It may be the difference between Quantum Mechanics and Newtonian Physics, but it seems intuitively obvious that the fire, or spirit, does not utterly disappear. Where it does go may remain, as it always has been, a lifelong mystery.
