View submission: Buddhism is NOT life-denying.
Let's make this easier. You may have noticed that there always seems to be something missing,. something you have left undone, it always seems that if only you could have this or do that your life would be complete and you would have eternal happiness.
That is what it means to be human. That craving, that longing, that empty spot, that lack of fulfillment. THAT is the NORMAL human condition. It can't "be satisfied." Nothing you do can make you not feel like something is missing. It is, actually, what has driven all of human advancement, all of the exploration and discovery, all of human knowledge, it was all an attempt at satisfying that that...that something that seems to be missing. But it never will. Because this is how you are supposed to feel. This is being human.
There's nothing here!
