People who want to be dead don’t (know they) have a reason to live. Jesus said the optimal state of being is having a reason to live (well… living that reason) — not that the optimal state of being was merely surviving. Wanting to be dead if you don’t have a reason to live actually proves Jesus correct.
Imagine thinking that death is going to end that lack, only to find …the reason for living. You could’ve found it while you were alive. Then all the troubles would have a meaningful frame that makes them at least able to be overcome.
Marriage has trouble… singleness has trouble… they both need the reason to live framing then… which will NOT be free of trouble (…the cross…)… so… neither will death/oblivion… that kind of “heaven” self-destructs and does not exist.
You can’t want not wanting anything — you have to WANT in order to want it (not wanting anything). That’s like knowing you don’t know anything.
If “nothing” is what you call “what is left before/after everything subject to time” — to say you know nothing is to say you know the being (God) subsuming everything subject to time. An empty vacuum doesn’t subsume jack squat. Yeah folks equivocate on nothing to avoid answering the most important true life or true death question. It ain’t, “Do you want a sammich?”
But it also… can be. lol jk
