You have approximately 30,000 days on this Earth. That's all you've got. How you choose to use those days is completely up to you, but when they're gone, that's it. There is no "afterlife".
Like Markus said, our curse as humans is that we have evolved to the point where we can contemplate our own death and ponder the world around us. That ability has led to the creation of religions and other delusions (anyone remember the Heaven's Gate cult?) in an attempt to transcend the *fact* that we are going to die. There are no 72 virgins awaiting you, there is no heaven, there is no re-incarnation.
Make the best of your 30,000 days.
