Without hope, we should indeed accept. Let's make the most of what we have. Death is not like that. It is not clear we couldn't find ways to double or triple our lifespan. It is not clear reincarnation (of the non-imaginary kind, mind uploading) is utterly impossible. It is not clear we couldn't find ways to keep our lives interesting for a very, very long time. Simply put, this is not hopeless. Yes, desire is a root of suffering. But it is also a root of progress. I'd rather not cut that root just yet.
