I don't know, people who say similar things imho haven't confronted death too much. When you keep examining "rewarding" things like that critically, I always end up realizing how temporary it is and how much I don't care about being remembered by people who would also be forgotten. I say you do you, whatever improves your experience of life without causing harm.

Ah.. I see where you are coming from.. I think most of the time I just live in a state of passive denial. You might see it as naive .. I can just say it personally works for me. But I think people who believe in an afterlife might also find meaning more rewarding than fun. I’m not saying either of us is right or wrong, just wanted to give you a hint of who might want to pursue some meaning in their life :)
I don't disagree with you, some of us just have a hard limit with a lot of those rewarding things. Living is better than dying and if you have to live then try to have a good time. Good things are pricey.
