How is it possible?

Ecclesiastes 11:5 

As you do not know what is the way of the  wind,
Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child,
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

 

How is it possible?

 

How can so few rule so many and follow their own will?

How is it possible that at times blindness is a blessing?

How can one be happy while bathing in one’s own sewage?

How can one be satisfied drinking sinfulness as refreshment?

 

How can one turn destiny into other people’s hands?

How can one call freedom acceptable while oppressing others?

How is the zest for life found in death’s segregation?

How is one deeply involved while inside they don’t bother?

 

How can one be happy building on a rotten foundation?

How can one make a living of others in despair?

How can one say: “I care” living at expense of others?

How can one live with self when all he does is unfair?

 

How can one worship God while being his own idol?

How can one be satisfied with fullness of one’s self?

How can one be happy when looking in the mirror?

How can one be purposeful when totally lost in self?
