Poor mantis.

I don't know. If, when we die, we cease to exist, then why live? It doesn't matter if we die tomorrow or 100 years from now it'll all be erased, and it'll be no different that having never existed in the first place. Why even live?

Yeah, but one could just as easily ask the opposite: why not live?
Eventually you'll die and it won't matter, and that won't be all that long in a cosmic sense, then you'll have an eternity to go back to equilibrium with the universe, so it seems a little ridiculous not to ride out the relatively short time one has.

If there's no meaning then there's just as little argument to be made against life as for it, so at some point one has to be a little suspicious as to why they're naturally assuming a negative stance on what's fundamentally an illogical argument.
The fact that life itself is absurd and pointless is a great excuse to let go of the kind of attachments that tend to drive people today insane and appreciate things for what they are instead of what they're allegedly supposed to be.
