One way of rendering the Buddhist conception of human life, as I understand it, is that a human life is an E ticket ride (if I am writing for anyone, I think I am writing for people who will get that reference) that countless souls are waiting in line for.
You would not want to wait all that time for something insipid, would you? No: there will always be death, pain, and disease. Accustom yourself to that idea, then learn to see the sky from the bottom of the well. We all return there one day.
