From an eternal perspective, the only death that is truly premature is the death of one who is not prepared to meet God.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
God has put within our lives meanings and possibilities that quite outrun the limits of mortality.
Life is a predicament which precedes death.
Death is the beginning of something.
To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious. There are far worse things awaiting man than death.
For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of death (or of anything else) as natural, death is the obscene mystery, the ultimate affront, the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied.
The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.
Death, only, renders hope futile.
There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.
Part of the bargain of being alive is that one takes a chance at dying a premature or painful death, be it from violence, accident, or disease.
Man, as long as he lives, is immortal. One minute before his death he shall be immortal. But one minute later, God wins.
