Not strange to me.

We have a job. A duty. At the end of the line, we get to go home (heaven).

The duty isn’t all bad, but some of it is. Home is all good.

But you don’t drop you duty and head home early. You keep working.

Just the way I was raised.

Not strange to me either, was just commenting to Lowell that we must remember that our lives here are a duty.

If one takes the Gnostic view that everything here is bad and evil, one longs for death, even until suicide (Cathars) and see's the entrance of children as a perpetuation of maya...
