Now I understand more than ever before Your mysterious ways to talk and to deal with us.
Light Has Shine On My Dark Mind …?
Yesterday? The darkness of my mind was covering the meaning of Chapter 4 and? I was not able to make the connection with Part 4 on Chapter 3.
Now? Wow! The light has shined in the darkness of my mind. I see now how Chapter 4 connects perfectly in my life, quote:
Two are better than one, because they have a good [more satisfying] reward for their labor; For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow.
That Lovely Voice Crying In The Wilderness Continues …?
So? That was the purpose for my last lousy mood of yesterday, and? Now? That lovely voice continues to cry in the wilderness of the multitude to connect all things. Wow!
Evil Under The Sun Cries That Lovely Voice…?
THEN I returned and considered all the oppressions that are practiced under the sun: And I beheld the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors was power, but they [too] had no comforter.
So I praised and thought more fortunate those who have been long dead than the living, who are still alive. But better than them both [I thought] is he who has not yet been born, who has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.
Then I saw that all painful effort in labor and all skill in work comes from man’s rivalry with his neighbor.
This is also vanity, a vain striving after the wind and a feeding on it.
The fool folds his hands together and eats his own flesh [destroying himself by indolence].
Better is a handful with quietness than both hands full with painful effort, a vain striving after the wind and a feeding on it.
Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun [in one of its peculiar forms].
Here is one alone–no one with him; he neither has child nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labor, neither is his eye satisfied with riches, neither does he ask, For whom do I labor and deprive myself of good? This is also vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility); yes, it is a painful effort and an unhappy business. [Pro 27:20; 1Jn 2:16]
Two are better than one, because they have a good [more satisfying] reward for their labor; For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie down together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?
And though a man might prevail against him who is alone, two will withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who no longer knows how to receive counsel (friendly reproof and warning)– Even though [the youth] comes out of prison to reign, while the other, born a king, becomes needy.
I saw all the living who walk under the sun with the youth who was to stand up in the king’s stead. There was no end to all the people; he was over all of them. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity (emptiness, falsity, vainglory) and a striving after the wind and a feeding on it. Ecclesiastes 4:1-16. End of quote.
Conclusion?
End of quote and end to my fastidious moods! All is well with my soul, and? Letting go of your soul! Hahaha! HalleluYah! Intense love for all, thiaBasilia 🙂
