True True, the big Truth
Regardless of what happens after we die, every second we are alive takes us one second closer to our death.
With however many seconds we have left, I will make sure to give some to my community, my family and that which is not mine.
How might you spend your seconds to make your end of seconds more bearable?

It's a meaningless gesture and question unless for some reason it matters to an atheist how they're going to be remembered after they die and it shouldn't because it won't.

What you do while you are alive is what matters.
Every kindness shared, every smile shared, every laugh, etc...makes it all worth the wait.

Doing exactly what I do every day.
I can't spend a single second thinking about "the end". That would do nothing
but detract from the NOW.

To focus on the end is not the same as reminding yourself that there is an end and convincing yourself to live while you can.
@x0lineage0x I never used the word "focus". I said I don't think about the end. Life is finite. I need neither reminding of that fact or convincing to live while I can.
You asked a question, I answered it.
@KKGator That may be true, but when you abstract the idea I brought forth away from you. I was speaking in general terms to correct your interpretation..
@x0lineage0x I have no need of my interpretation being corrected by you, or anyone else. I was not speaking in the abstract. Don't be a pretentious ass.
@x0lineage0x Huh? I have no idea of what you are saying in response to KKGator.
We are in total agreement
One never knows when one's seconds may end. At the moment* I'm listening to Schubert's Ave Maria (and doing this, of course).
*"The meaning of life is whatever I'm doing at the moment that keeps me from killing myself." Attributed to Albert Camus.

We all make believe that the future is guaranteed. There are many more ways for life to end than there are to continue.
@x0lineage0x you got that right.
