Dead to the World

Wisdom found in fiction:

“The best thing about being dead, is the freedom. I mean, we’re all going to die. May as well do it while we’re alive, right? When you’re young, you lock yourselves into all of these bad decisions. You know, marriages and mortgages, and all that kind of stuff. But you die, it’s all erased. Poof! Gone. From that point forward, all that matters is what you choose.” One - 6 Underground

The complete reality:

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15

“I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.” John 17:15

“Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances.” Colossians 2:20

“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:25, 26
