Dying is not the worst thing that can happen to you


Nobody wants to die. The human organism is programmed to do whatever it takes to stay alive. But the fact is everyone will die some day. The Bible says 70 years; and for the few who are strong, perhaps 80 years. Like all living things, we come into being, we grow and flourish for a time, and then we will cease to be.
The fact that biological life is short does not make it meaningless. It means that every moment is precious; that God never intended for us to have any empty time; so none of it should be wasted. So the worst thing that can happen to you is not dying, but wasting your life. Please don't do that.
