What does the afterlife have? Even if you're inevitably going to go there, does it make it a good place? What does it have? How long are you staying there? Is there anything after that?

Just because you know you're going to move away from the location you were originally in doesn't mean everything you did in that original location doesn't matter.

The RWBY girls were at Beacon and knew they would leave and graduate Beacon eventually and become Huntresses. But what they learned at Beacon still matters, even if they leave that place for a better or different one. I think you and I are just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. You clearly think that life has meaning even with a verified afterlife, and I simply don't think it does. It's entirely subjective, and there's no point in us arguing about it. After all, it is just a silly story. In the real world, there is no afterlife. When you die, you get consumed by maggots, and your consciousness disintegrates. Harsh reality, but it's the truth, and so there's no point in continuing this conversation.
