Aloka-D, if you find this pointless, then allow me to ask you one question: when Aloka-D dies, is Aloka-D's suffering extinguished?

This is a fallacy of Many Questions. You are assuming that "all life is suffering". For one who is familiar with the Buddha's liberative teachings, it is a silly and pointless question, something a TV preacher would ask to try and lure people into his superstitions by their ignorance.
