Life is an end in itself, life vs death is the context which creates the concept of good and evil. To live is good. To cease living is evil.
Do not put the cart before the horse. As there can be no such thing as "before time" there can be no such thing as "good more fundamental than life".
If a man searches for something deeper he will find nothing and be tempted to manufacture. If he can say that it is better for a pebble in the sky to have moss clinging to it than for there to be no moss he can find value in his life. If he cannot, then nothing will 'cure' him, not even imagination.

I am living for to do whatever I want. What I want is true because my wants exist.

Plenty of things are more important than life. Living by causing pain to others is worse than death.

No, but thanks for making another argument against life. Life means pain, dying and disappointment. More for some.

That is not an argument against life, those things are only negative because they are part of a motivator system designed to keep you alive and kicking.
If health was not good then pain wouldn't be needed. If achieving values was not good, then disappointment would not be needed.

Pain does not stop being bad if there is a reason why pain exists. Burning in fire is bad.

Pain being needed for health or achieving values still doesnt change that pain is bad and most undesirable.
It's not necessary to have something we should live for. If it's so it's worse, it's painful.
Like the believers that struggle to attain heaven or avoid hell as if those places existed. That's bullshit.
The best way to live this fkn life is by going with the flow and trust that everything is going to be ok.

Doing something beautiful for God/Universe and that is my take on Mother Teresa's comments, that, some years back I personally put a spin on it by believing, that, by my organizing or reorganizing what appeared to me to be a somewhat disorganized { chaotic } mess, I was...' dong something beautiful for God/Universe '.

Yep, such is the question.
I'm living because, parents blah blah blah.
And I continue to live because the alternative as yet, isn't applicable.
There either is or isn't a reason for any of this.
Though, one can speculate variously, simply or imaginatively.
