It depends on perspective. "Living like nothing matters" can mean a lot of things. On the positive side, it could mean overcoming an instinct of fear that prevents you from pursuing your true desires. That might sound "starry-eyed" to people who are used to taking their wishes seriously and investing in realizing them. Many people are caught in a negative feedback loop that prevents them from standing up for themselves and taking on hardship, instead wasting their energy on a maze of fear management and "less-bad" life choices. Living "like nothing matters" represents an actually rational approach compared to this type of living, assuming you are made for it. But "living like nothing matters" could also mean to go all-in on the hedonic treadmill of pain avoidance and insincerity, not considering future costs (see obesity, addiction etc).
