When are people going to realize that articles that talk about hopelessness and death, seldom get to the basics. The basics are that death is programmed into the system of life. If nobody ever fought against anybody else, but rather, everybody worked together peacefully, people might live a little longer, but they still die. --- The only way to handle this situation - since we don't know how to stop death - is to spiritually learn to love the Almighty One Who is over us all. He gave us life in the first place because He wants us to live. We die because of our own despair and wickedness. Life has been returned to us through the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God, who took the results of our imperfection with Himself on the cross. Like as He was raised to life after the cross, even so we can look forward to a joyful resurrection with Him in Heaven.
