You die every day. Does it bother you that you will never get yesterday back? As Seneca the Younger wrote to his friend Lucilius, "What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that he is dying daily? For we are mistaken when we look forward to death; the major portion of death has already passed, Whatever years be behind us are in death's hands."

If it is a dilemma you personally feel troubled by, I highly recommend the excellent book "Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death" by existential psychologist (and atheist) Irvin Yalom.

He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza
