You will grow old and die like everyone else. Forgotten after oblivion.
So it doesn't matter.
When you lie on your death bed, or in the trenches most likely, and slowly grow weaker. Drawing your last breath. You will think "what was it all fo---" and nothing remains, except your rotting corpse. Even your spawn will perish and maybe even get raped by invaders. Over millions of years, even your line will falter if they have the best of chances.
Fundamentally, it is unimportant what one has or has not, as long as you are but a little droplet in the everchanging ocean of reality.
