Too Good To Live

This seems really cruel to post this after my last post, but I can't get my mind off of it.

Ever since I was little, I thought I wanted to die early in life.
(I promise this isn't about suicide or something ridiculously morbid.)

It's really the influence of media. And maybe church...

So, did you ever watch Little Women? Or Four Brothers?
My point is that the good person always dies early.

At church, whenever people die, everyone else talks about how good of a person they were, and that God needs them in heaven.

So... when I was little, I believed that if I was good enough, I would be SO good that I would die early in life. It just made sense to me. I would be TOO good to live on earth.

Yeah, well, it didn't happen. I'm still alive. And at this point, I'd rather not die.
I'm married now, and I wouldn't want to give everything up at this time.

Does that mean that I should go steal something? I really want to live right now.
