You Don't Matter
Kohelet Chapter 7, Verse 10
י אַל-תֹּאמַר, מֶה הָיָה--שֶׁהַיָּמִים הָרִאשֹׁנִים, הָיוּ טוֹבִים מֵאֵלֶּה: כִּי לֹא מֵחָכְמָה, שָׁאַלְתָּ עַל-זֶה.
10. Do not say, "How was it that the former days were better than these?" For not out of wisdom have you asked concerning this.
• People, with their self centered perspective, do not want to recognize themselves as subject to chance or circumstances. If they have different circumstances from previous generations they attribute it to some intrinsic difference between times, believing that the former days were intrinsically better than the days today. However, they do not realize that the world operates lawfully with patterns and cycles which include better periods of time and worse periods of time and that do not change their cycles because of the individual’s feeling of absolute self importance.
