Agree with the second one. We are just a particle in the universe, we can do whatever we want (between the social norms required), that is a good-feeling.

Life is full of suffering, as Buddha said, it is up to you to understand that most of the things that cause you suffering are made of thoughts you created or cannot control, and create your inner peace, for you and others.

To control it is the way of living. That is to reach enlightment. To face life as it is and not biased by your thoughts.

Death is just something that is part of life. There is a story told of a woman who brought her dead child to Buddha and begged him to bring her child back to life. Buddha asked the woman to bring a mustard seed from a house where no one had ever died. Only then would he grant her wish. She of course, could not find a household saved from the pain of death and she was then struck by the universality of dying.
