I really do think that I'm personally no better or worse of after I die regardless of how I lived. (as in: I'm dead either way, end of story, kaput)
But, my life has had meaning when I can look back and say: I've enjoyed myself.
That's it.
Enjoyment in and of itself is what gives life meaning. Wether the enjoyment is
in life or
after doesn't matter.
And I find enjoyment when I'm able (have been able) to make a decent living etc. as posted above. I do not need a prize at the end to congratulate me.
Oh and btw, "in a few years you face obliteration" I hope that's at least 50 years away
