If you want the bigger goal, then look around. Walk outside and look around you.
Are the negatives of life the only things worth enjoying? Do you not enjoy a neighbors smile, laughter after a good joke, hearing a great story?
It's true we're born,,,time passes,,,we die. If all you do is concentrate on the negatives of life and the inevidability of death as your only goal then you're missing the whole entire point.
