Quoting Ben Franklin...
We are spirits • That bodies should be lent us so long as they can
afford us pleasure •  assist us in acquiring knowledge •  or in doing good to our fellowman •  is a kind and benevolent act of God •••  When they become unfit for these purposes, and afford us pain instead of
pleasure •  and instead of an aid become an incumbrance •  it is equally kind and benevolent that a way is provided by which we may depart
from them. •  Death is that way •••  It is as if our friend and we were invited to a houseparty, which is to last forever. •  His chair was ready first, and he has gone before us. •  We could not all conveniently start together •  And we should not be grieved at this, since we some day
will follow, and know where to find him. •••
