Hardly. What will be sad is if you have based your entire life on this piece of fiction, and in the end there is nothing that awaits you. That will be a disappointing time for you, and I pity you for that.
As for me, I will have kept my faith as I have it today, in myself, my family and my friends. That makes me live life beholden to reality, not fiction...real people who matter, not a farcical imaginary puppetmaster. Because I have lived life with such joy with those who mean the most to me, I will have made the most of it, rather than waiting for things to be better once the make-believe savior comes for me. That is far from sad...it's a beautiful life. I'm sorry yours isn't and won't be as such.
