Is that a good thing ?

#1 you have to wait 6.5 more years to get the rest you desperately need if you are old and sick,

#2 you are old and sick, maybe stuck in a nursing home with no fami,iy visiting, being treated not so great by overworked nursing home peeps, have to eat cafeteria style food that they serve etc... not sure that will be pleasant.

If one is healthy, sure, that’d be nice, but it still means delaying heaven

Maybe I should take up smoking again to hurry the process a bit lol.

It means that, as

researchers at the Mayo Clinic concluded, “Most studies have shown that religious involvement and spirituality are associated with better health outcomes, including greater longevity, coping skills, and health-related quality of life (even during terminal illness) and less anxiety, depression, and suicide. - https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicolefisher/2019/03/29/science-says-religion-is-good-for-your-health/

Yes.

What exactly does one do with those extra years?

And, as you commented, what about the delay in your transition to heaven/paradise?

In light of eternity, it doesn't matter...

In light of time, it seems long...
