Nope. Do it right in the here and now and the next life will turn out to be heaven!

Exactly... so what you do now is infinitely more important than anything that you'll ever do in heaven.

I think if people knew they only lived to 55 they would be partying more and perhaps taking advantage of everything they can to get the most out of life. Imagine someone in their 40s when this use to be the time people were working hard to save for retirement. They would now be opting out without much money.

I think it would put pressure on every stage of life. As kids parents would be pushing kids to start careers at 12 years old. Going to uni would take half your life away. Some things take time and only work because they were slowly earnt. There would be short cuts and that would create a system where there would be many cowboys trying to squeeze the system for everything it benefit themselves.

If they have no life after death then any sacrifices in this life will seem like a waste of time. Yet it is sacrifices that cultivate the quality and character of a person and work towards making life better for those who suffer.

To many who disbelieve in God even 80 years is a short time. It goes in the blink of an eye and much of the later years are compromised by health and mobility issues. So really theres not much quality life physically after 60 years anyway lol.
