For a living being, death is the end.
Discussion
Drafts in Nostr are weird - anyway I don't understand where you're getting your oughts from. Why is life good? Like why are you optimizing for that? Isn't your why to that question because you like it? To be clear I like it too, but it boils down to preference, right?
Life or death is binary. So life is essential for being, therein not a preference.
In that context anything that strengthens that position (improves likelihood of life continuing) is good, as opposed the opposite.
It depends on each individual’s unique background, make up, and circumstances for what those things might be at any point in time.
Didn't you just swap "being" in for "life"? My why question still would apply to being.
What makes "being" good? Your preference?
Again on my side I think that's all I have to answer that question of what makes being good. I wish I had a stronger answer, but it seems preference based, not objective
Leave it with you to think further. Interested if you reach a solution.
I used ‘being’ only for explanatory reasons for what life is.
