I’m sure I’ve heard of this before, but I just have one question: does this declaration have any significance whatsoever? I mean, Hashem is the only one who knows how long we have to live and He is the only one who can decide or change it. How are we to know if he really gave of his life? It’s like committing suicide in the respect that we can’t kill ourselves because Hashem owns us. Same thing here- our lives aren’t ours to give to others.
