Ecclesiastes.

I feel like that book was written for me. I wonder if I can get it tattooed on me. Bit weird though, I guess, to have an entire book tattooed on me... I mean the only place it would fit is my back, but then I can't really see (or read) stuff that's on my back, so there isn't all that much point. Hmm.

I suppose the most famous Ecclesiastes passage would be Ecc 3:1-14

A Time For Everything
1. For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.
2. A time to be born and a time to die.
3. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up.
4. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance.
5. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
6. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away.
7. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak.
8. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.
9. What do people really get for all their hard work?
10. I have seen the burden God has placed on us all.
11. Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.
12. So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.
13. And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labour, for these are gifts from God.
14. And I know that whatever God does is final. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God's purpose is that people should fear him.

Ahhh. Time. So weird and undefinable and passes way too fast (or way too slow...) Strangeness.

God bless.
