I believe that the reason for this life should be taken seriously.We work and strive for prosperity and happiness, but it will come to an end eventually. We will be forgotten over time. Should life be taken seriously considering its brevity? Does doing so make it less enjoyable?

I believe that the reason for this life should be taken seriously.
This is a fantastic question.We work and strive for prosperity and happiness, but it will come to an end eventually. We will be forgotten over time. Should life be taken seriously considering its brevity? Does doing so make it less enjoyable?
I believe that this life should be taken seriously because it is our only preparation for the next life, where we will spend all of eternity in the spiritual world. If we do not acquire the good qualities of character in this life, we won't be able to acquire them after we die because we will no longer have free will to make moral choices. In that case we will be handicapped in the spiritual world, where only character matters. I believe it will also matter that we acquired knowledge of God in this life, because I am not sure if we will be able to acquire it in the next world.What reason would that be, if I may ask?
I think its only serious in the context of one lifespan. Beyond that, it really dosent mean anything with the overall grand picture.We work and strive for prosperity and happiness, but it will come to an end eventually. We will be forgotten over time. Should life be taken seriously considering its brevity? Does doing so make it less enjoyable?

And then it starts all over again..As conditions go, life is about as serious as it gets, what with its 100% fatality rate and all.
It may be a chronic condition.And then it starts all over again..

Our life in this world is the ultimate test because there is no free will as we know it here in the next world.No free will without the capacity or desire to do moral wrongs?
It sounds like limitations God has on the scope of what God can do for others.
This world being the ultimate test.
