Yes, there is such a thing as the sweet release of death. It exists, and you may hope for that, if you wish to do so. But there is also the sweet release of life: a surge of vitality, purpose, love, meaning; finding a place in life and in the world in which you can truly be an individual to the highest of your abilities, while at the same time serving the world — and thereby, God — virtuously, honestly and relentlessly; a state of flow and divine inspiration which merges work and play, joy and suffering. That’s the kind of release I’m hoping for.
