Death and impermanence are certain. What then? How should one live his life? How should one choose to be? ?

Question

What has worth?

Answer 1

..live, your life and be happy...good luck...

Answer 2

Strive to be the best you can be in everything you do...Give everything you do your best shot, & I mean everything, even washing the dishes at home, I know this may sound a little silly, but you gotta make every moment count, specifically because death & impermanence are certain.  

Answer 3

As an atheist  I always assume this is the only life I have.  I believe one should live an ethical existence while seeking to be happy and fulfilled by  engaging in activities that broaden the mind and challenge the intellect.

Answer 4

What has worth? Whatever you think is valuable. Some people think it's friends, money, creating babies, finding a life-partner, career, gaining lots of possessions, being charitable, or just having lots of fun.

You should live your life the way that it makes sense to you. EXCEPT, you must also follow the laws. So if you think it makes sense to go out and kill people or smoke drugs, but it's against the law, then you CAN'T do that.

So ignore what everyone else tells you to do; and this means you shouldn't take advice from strangers on the internet either.

Answer 5

You must listen to no one, you must do nothing anyone tells you to do. You should live your life only in accordance to what is true to you, and you will live the best you possibly can. This can be taken the wrong way, I am not telling you to throw out everything in your life. Not saying to quit your job or leave your home behind you. What i am saying is that if it is truly in you to keep those things do so, and if it is not then do not. All i am saying is that what is true to your true needs is what you should take care of instead of what is true of your desire.

Everything is worthless put no worth on something, for the second it has worth there is someone who will see it and want it for themselves, Let everything be worthless and no one will desire what you have.

Answer 6

I think every day that someone strives to make better than yesterday has worth.

I think that answers your question

Answer 7

We are mortal we live and die in a cosmic moment.  Our purpose is to choose to survive through faith as faith sons. We are created this way and this is the only way life eternal is offered to us.

The most important thing in life is relationships. First with self as a child, then parents, family and if possible with God. If we can give up our sense of self long enough we will recognize the spirit of God within our consciousness and this is the beginning of our faith journey.

What we are not able to complete in this short life we will have in the next if it is worth doing. In spite of the teachings of your youth we do not pass through a magic door at death. We will awake just as we were when death over took us in this life and pick up where we left off. Our commandment is to be perfect in our life as God is perfect in His. This is to say we should do our very best in all that we do.
