Stoics and peripatetic philosophers had a different take on fate, God and spirit. My point of view is Christian. One could describe a biological/physical reason why life is less than eternal physically. Apparently humans souls or spirit or information is eternal. Adam and Eve were set in a perfect place; like a condo with a fully stocked refrigerator on a tropical beach and found to be imperfect and unable to exist in perfect compliance with the Spirit. Without correction they may have become quite decadent and cast votes eventually for the moral equivalent of Democrats in what should be a Holy space.. Humans sinned, learned the difference between good and evil and were cast into the thermodynamic universe that is a containment facility. Thermodynamics mean that humans need to consume energy to exist- and therein is the source of so many human problems. All thermodynamic processes and forms change and end including humans. Matter is just two-dimensional massless particles slowed in the Higgs Field and given therein a third dimension to become entangled and massive. Maybe its like one of those complex knots where one can pull the ends of a string and it disappears. For some reason God doesn't want people to be eternal and off balance morally speaking, defective like wobbly wheels with bad kingpins on a high speed electric car. I would agree with Stoics on this point; that to be defective means to be out of compliance with the will of God. Some are saved that comply with the perfect way of the Lord (God himself), and the rest are free to go their own way to hell.
