No, that’s the basics of it. Celebrate life, but you’re “born in sin”. So we do as we’re told. This is why church and state were inseparable for so long.
Trying to, as you say, connect with the transcendent, is the Christian death wish. Once you’re done laboring for your betters, you think you’ve got an even better life ahead of you. But you don’t. You wasted your life on supporting the elites.

I don’t know what this “depressive realism” is. I’m perfectly calm and happy after reading the simple lessons of Epicurus. As for the meaning/meaninglessness of life, I am free to choose that meaning.
