I don't get it...why do anything then? Why build a home, when it will fall into rubble some day? Why get a pet when it will only die one day... why have kids, why work, why exercise, when in the end you'll die anyway? Why even get out of bed?

That's ^^^ what I wonder 8 out of 10 times.

The answer, of course, is to enjoy our existence while it exists.

Who knows. It all sounds like a waste of time anyways, people running around to find 'the one' and then 'the one' leaves them for another one or they die.

... cause somebody to fall in love with you?

well you are not responsible for others' feeling. If she or he falls in love with you, it is their choice. Nobody ever die because of broken hearts. I have a loved one committed suicide two weeks after we broke up, I thought he died for me. Break up is just the last straw broke camel's back, the real reason he died is due to years of untreated undiagnosed mood disorder.

People normally bounce back from break ups, they learn something and move on. Just be thankful that somebody share true love with you. If it ends, it is still a learning experience. Everything happens for a reason.

I'm not too clear on your question, but if you're talking about not forming a partnership because your partner may die, so what? If you enjoy being with your partner, enjoy it while you can.

My late wife and I were only together for 3.5 years before her sudden and unexpected death. It hurt me horribly, and the only thing I can think of that would have been worse would have been if our time together would have been less or not at all. With the millions of tears that I shed after her death, not a single one was because we'd gotten together. Quite the opposite. I've always been thankful that we had the time together that we did. They were the best years of my life and hers. I learned how to love, how to accept love and how wonderful life can be. She gave me the last years of her life, and I helped make the last years of her life the best years of her life.

My only regret is that we didn't have more time together.

hopefully not

It was 1 in the morning, I'm thinking he had had too much to drink

Good grief, if we all took that attitude nothing would ever get accomplished in life - we'd just curl up in a ball and wait for death
