The only reason we have any desire to live is because the creatures who didn't have that desire didn't survive. Despite this, life is a horrible experience for most living things. For modern humans it's not as bad, but think of all the pain that has been experienced throughout the history of the planet.
Trillions of wild animals of all different types have starved, been eaten alive, died from being too hot or too cold. I'm not even going to list all the horrible things that humans have experienced because you can probably easily think of them.
It's sad to me that I and so many others have this uncontrollable desire to still live despite the state of reality.
I mean the majority of living things capable of suffering do so a lot. Factory farming has billions of animals living their worst lives. More humans are suffering than not. Even just wild and free nature is filled with starvation, being eaten alive, disease, infanticide, parasites, and whatever other horrible things to which I am ignorant. Evolution didn't give a shit how pleasant life was; it just happened and here we are.
the universe doesn't care about anything not even itself as even that as a end date
