Why not? One good ability I've heard is why watch a movie or listen to music or play a game if you know it's going to end? No one and nothing is it's best all the time, just understanding that there are some things that can be worth experiencing is the best life has to offer, really.

The meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life.

if one's life was just loneliness, failed relationships, and soul-draining work it might appear pointless

maybe there is lots of other things to do?

I'm pretty confident that there's an afterlife.

The afterlife is basically the dreamworld but moreso.
