The meaning of life

Are you afraid of death? There’s no reason to, because, technically, you’re already dead at some point of the future. This point already exist, as spacetime moves forward and, as far as we know, it doesn’t go back. (Like in that Braid game, if you’ve played it.) That’s kind of a good example… Imagine yourself watching an object fall to the ground. The object moves forward in both space and time, along with the chemical elements in your brain (you ‘realize’ the object is somehow moving), the muscle tissue of your heart (you continue being alive), the Earth, and the Universe. Humans are just complicated containers of matter and go forward in spacetime in pretty much the same way soulless asteroids do.
