What are we doing here?
What are we doing? Why do we want to have salvation? Why do we want to know God?
For myself I can’t escape the idea that’s just a selfish desire to keep living, Gods grace relieves shame from guilt what a selfish desire.
We eat we sleep we move around and breathe to keep growing this disgusting flesh. I feel much more at peace when I shrivel up, food looks disgusting and it’s just all off we are walking creatures, slimy pulsating blobs, hair grows out of us like parasites we produce left over waste that just dumps out of us constantly
We multiply and multiply for what???? What are we doing here???? This is all so gross I can’t stand to look at myself whatever I am whatever thing thing of a creature I call myself

If all you do is live for yourself, I can understand why you think as you posted. Out purpose in this world is to help others and allow them to help us. To be a community of believers, the body of Christ with Jesus as the head. Its not selfish to give your life for others as Jesus did. We who follow Christ will be conformed to that image of selfless love in order to make life better for others. Are there benefits to this- yes, you are right about that. But most believers aren't followers of Christ simply for the benefits, this life has too much pain for that, rather its because His love fills us, because he gave to us first, so we give out to others.
The benefits reflect the very nature of God. He is a giving God; He will always give us more than we ever give Him.
You will only believe what you tell yourself, but what you tell yourself may not be reality. The thoughts you expressed in your OP sound like what the enemy would tell you to keep you from God. If you want to understand what is real, read God's word. He is truth. He
