Yes, death is a mercy, especially when the entire world is thorns and brambles.
I was thinking along those lines the other day. After ordering some chlorine dioxide, I thought, "why on earth do I want to try living longer?"

Must be a glutton for punishment. :cowboy:

Well, at my age, it's not so much about living longer, but rather about being useful and productive in whatever time I have left, by God's will.  One one level, I envy my younger brother, who passed away.

Brings up an interesting point. Which is more perfect/holy:

A) Wanting to live as long as possible
B) Wanting to die as soon as possible ("to live longer is to commit more sins", "I want to go to heaven", etc.)
C) Wanting God's will with indifference, whatever that is.

The correct answer, of course, is "C".

This short movie explains it all. “Don’t get hurt, be like Bert!  Duck and Cover!”

Exactly.  I always think of it as trying to be healthy enough to do my duties of state well.  Otherwise, my nature is the type to, like you, envy your brother.  But I have tried over the years to really, truly want nothing but Matthew's option C) Wanting God's will with indifference, whatever that is.

I can also relate to the posts by LT, DL & Emile, and got a chuckle out of Jaycie's.
