Can’t tell if you’re joking, but to me this line of reasoning (which I’ve also subscribed to in the past) is kind of like saying “what’s the point in choosing to eat this delicious food over this gross food, when by tomorrow I won’t be tasting either of them anyways?”
I’m not kidding and I’ve been (literally) dead. So yeah, I didn’t care much about anything at that time.
What I’m getting at is that is not related. You’re right you should try to get most out of life you can and treating yourself and others well. But as a motivation the perspective of life ending in general does not matter (to me) at all.
