That's a rather bleak and cynical outlook, I must say.
I know that I don't know what happens to me after I die,
but apart from this _scio ut nescio_ I firmly believe
that we are here with a purpose, namely to make the world
a better and more beautiful place. And that means that we
*should* care about the rest of the world, even beyond our
own lifespans.
