Clueless

Job 3:20-22 

20 “Why does God give light to one who is in misery,

and life to those whose soul is bitter,
21 to those who wait for death that does not come,
and search for it
more than for hidden treasures,
22 who rejoice even to jubilation,
and are exultant when they find the grave?

 

If one understood the hereafter ... could it change heart and mind?

If one could see the future ... would the grave be a good choice?

To get a peek into the spiritual ... of the neglected and sought after

would one see the destination of the flesh ... as it raises its  voice?

 

If life in spirit could be recognized and it be clearly seen

what we call life somehow ... would show a form of existence?

For life itself maybe untouchable ... surely by the flesh

for this decaying entity was dead from its beginning?

 

“One foot in the grave” ... that is a silly expression.

Most came never out of it ... nor had the intention.

How can one leave it anyhow in its unknown condition?

Maybe in the span of things existence is also pretension.
