The question is - why live? Why not die? Living is a great hipocrisy, if you think about it. For all the love and joy and pleasure we might receive, in the end, none of it matters. The beautiful works of art will eventually be corrupted or die. Scientific theories - trumped, forgotten. Our whole species will eventually vanish.

At least by thinking that virtue will bring you further peace in the afterlife you can make it sensible.
