For me, because life is really cool and interesting, and I love the fact that more people than have ever lived so far will probably live after I'm dead, and I'm happy they'll see and enjoy things I probably can't imagine. I want those future people, and the present people who are not me, to do well. I care about my life, and I'm sad it'll end, but that's just one drop of tragedy in the ocean of comedy. c: I think that emotional investment in others is crucial to overcoming death anxiety, at least for me (as a hardcore based fedora atheist). If your outlook is confined to your ego, everything seems pretty bleak and hopeless since your existence (which is the only thing you're emotionally invested in) is doomed to end, probably sorta miserably.
