Well, it seems rather empty to keep everything going just for the sake of keeping it going. It just seems to say that it's worth tricking ourselves into thinking that we're doing something worthwhile, when all we're doing is perpetuating a system that doesn't matter anyway. In the end it's all just a delusion that has no importance. Why should we? If we pressed a button that ended the world, the universe wouldn't care, and we wouldn't even be around to feel sad that we were gone.
