I wish we could remember everything we did in our lives after death

i usually don't mind death that much, to me death is just an inevitable thing and if it happens well there's nothing we can do about it, and i apply that to everyone including myself
but sometimes i think that after death, your body will just be a rotting piece of meat and eventually disappear. who you once were no longer exists and everything you've been through your life was ""wasted"". well it doesn't bother me that much but it's kinda annoying that we have to be born into this world just to die later on without having any recollection of what you did, even if people still remember you
I'm not trying to be a pessimist, this is just my view on life and death in general tbh. it would be nice if we could be reincarnated and have memories of our last lives (i know there's been a few cases of that happening but it's really rare)
