What is the purpose of setting goals if we all die anyway?

That depends on what you believe.
If you're someone that believes that what we have here is all we get, then the reason you set goals is because you die and you want to make the most of your time and leave a legacy.
If you're a bit more spiritual, there's a plethora of possibilities there, as a Christian everything is a process for learning to live God and people better and death is merely a transition into something better. But, in that time I'm supposed to love the people around me the best I can and be the best version I can be of myself before I'm perfected through death and then resurrection into my new body in heaven.
I hope what I said was helpful

You come to the world even though that is not your decision then you can try to do the best in the world no matter what if it is a journey, like going to third world without thinking about going home. trying to do the same things. then you can die to see unknown world. that is a right process to experience the world you know existing first then go to unknown world later.

By every positive choice we make we prepare the following generations for a better life than ours. I guess
I don't even know cuz the next generation sucks anyway

[andreasderjuengere]

"the next generation sucks anyway "... I can't help to think that to me the 'next' generation is... YOUR generation?
But I agree about the 'positive choices'

[potatoiswhoiam]

Yes maybe I am in next generation. I don't know. But fact is 90% of people nowadays give zero fucks about others so that's why I said it.

[andreasderjuengere]

It's good that you said it. Now... I'd like to encourage you to make a difference

[aWes0MeNeSs]

To make your life while you're here enjoyable and fulfilling. Wouldn't you rather fill your life with accomplishments and great memories than just nothing?

[Xoxoroxy]

Thats exactly why we make goals. To make our short unpredictable time here on earth worthwhile and to have a meaning behind it and to create memories with loved ones and friends and the people around us.

[DictumVeritas]

It passes the time. It would be darned boring just having breathing as your ultimate aspiration. (see what I did there?) Hey we might even invent something or leave a legacy worth a darn for the youngsters to build on.

[Plitty-Tank]

Because we live in the now and what's happening now matters now. You're right though. When we die, it ultimately wouldn't matter and there would be no reason for it to matter since nobody would be here for it to matter to.

[ZELLxoxo]

Life is too precious to just waste away. We are here to do something.

[SlothySlob]

So that the life we live seems fulfilling and enjoyable.

[andreasderjuengere]

To fill up the time until it happens with something that makes sense; to us, at least.

[Liam_Hayden]

If this really is all that exists, then there is none.

[Agape93]

To achieve what we can before we die.

[call_me_scar]

To have fun while were here

[andrermm]

Well I want to have fun while in here.
