I read this the other day - not sure what the source is, but very cute indeed.
"Life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time, all your weekends, and what do you get at the end of it?... Death, a great reward.
"I think that the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way, then you live twenty years in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
"You go to college, you do drugs, you do alcohol, you party, until you're ready for high school. You go to high school, you go to grade school, you become a little kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating, and you finish off as a gleam in somebody's eye."

Cute, eh? But then wonder, if indeed life is like so - we probably hate the fact that we get smaller and smaller over time. We would probably be celebrating old age - death as it would be birth. equally we would hate having to go into someone's womb to end our lives - birth as it would be death.
Enjoy every moment. We need to be both a kid and an old man at all time. And most of all - we know of a God who loves us from eternity to eternity. We should celebrate both birth and death, young age and old age, for every moment is a gift.
