"Hoka Hey" to that. Just as it is essential to make our life meaningful imo it would be nice to make our death meaningful too.

Always thought the game was keep paying attention and keep adapting as best you can, when you can't well then you become food for archeologists - which might be  cockroach archeologists in our case. Or maybe something else lurking inside a steam vent absorbing radiation.

All that affects me personally in that I have to go on living, apparently. Guess it comes down to what kind of person you imagine yourself to be.

When you think of it  Frodo was in almost the exact situation we are now Paul. He did not have any hope that is mission would be successful and still he kept going and in the end against all odds brought everything to a good end.
Martin Luther who started the Protestant Reformation supposedly said in 1523 : " even if I knew the world would come to an end tomorrow I would still plant apple trees today."

Imo if you can only keep your head up hoping that evil will wait to descend until you are gone naturally, you weaken yourself. Too much hope that something will not happen weakens you for when it comes it will be a bad shock. If you have no hope at all you are better prepared for whatever is thrown at you and you will be better able to carry on. Think about it, it will be less easy to get hurt and you will also be much more dangerous for those that perpetrate that evil.
We live on a planet that mankind is trashing in every way. We now use the resources of almost 2 planets every year and rational thought should tell us that this is not sustainable for any length of time. It should have been stopped long ago.
 Enough people hoping that this will only result in catastrophe in one hundred years time gives the perpetrators a free card to keep on going for now and we can not afford to do that.

All we have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given us. Give up hope by all means but never allow yourself to be loaded on that cattle waggon to Auschwitz.

So what do we do? Give up? From Lord of The Rings, this always comes to me:

Frodo – “I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."
Gandalf - "So do all who come to see such times. But that is not for them to decide.
All we have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to us."
