       Yes, I have pursuits and so do you. Most of us do, whether they are big or small. Depending on our current level of thinking, our pursuits will be either based on what we can obtain for ourselves (again, wantingness), or on how we can help and be a benefit to others (how we can rest in our contentment). So, wantingness versus contentment. And as we become freer, we realize that it is the love, joy, peace, and patience that really matters. Anxiety, self-righteousness, aggravation, and wantingness have been overcome, and so death is easy to accept, and in fact welcomed. The fear of it is gone; the pride of life is seen to be overrated; and the longing to continue with the pursuits of this world has been surrendered. It is gracious of God how he permits people to grow old. This makes it easier for people to accept the fact they are going to die, and it makes it easier for the people around them. As they see their bodies starting to wear down, starting to fade, they know the time is drawing nearer.
