The only reason the "enjoy your life" option is even on the table is because someone selflessly did the work of wealth building and society building that makes it possible for us to have the option of a life of leisure today.
When you die, it's not game over. If that were the case, you wouldn't even exist because it was once game over for all your ancestors, yet here you are enjoying your life.
Culturally, it's a tragedy that we've done an awful job communicating the importance of leaving a legacy for your offspring that enables them to enjoy life like we have. This long chain of people enjoying life only works if we propagate this message.
