Weep when born rejoice when someone dies?

OpinionThis saying bears some resemblance to some early Gnostic Christian beliefs. To them, the world was evil, and anything that prevented even one person from being born was good. On this view, sex was acceptable as long as there was no likelihood of a child being conceived.Rejoicing when someone dies, similarly assumes that they must be going to a better place. The risk is if this attitude causes people to unwarrantedly refuse appropriate treatment, in the hope of an ealry death and release to the hoped-for paradise. And if the paradise does not really exist, this would be all in vain.AnswerThis is a Buddhist saying.AnswerPossibly this is derived from the Book of Job which predates Buddhism by about 2,000 years (Job being considered the oldest of all the canon of scripture)"Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night that said, 'A man is conceived....' Why did I not die at birth, come out from the womb and expire...? Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul, who long for death, but it comes not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures, who rejoice exceedingly and are glad when they find the grave? (Job 3:1, 11, 20-22)"
