Screwtape 28-31

I thought it was interesting on how Screwtape tells Wormwood to watch out for the patient's safety. It makes sense though that if he dies a Christian before being fully corrupted than God has won. I agree with him saying, "You will notice that the young are generally less unwilling to die than the middle-aged and the old." Although young people sometimes find life to be difficult and say they want to give up, very few people actually mean it. When things go wrong, they realize that they are young and have a lot of time for things to turn out the way they want them to. Middle-aged and older people, on the other hand, have lived thier lives and accomplished the things they wanted to do so although they probably aren't ready to die, they are more willing than the younger people. It makes sense to want people to live longer lives in order to have more time to turn them towards worshiping the devil instead of God.
