Job 14

Job: Here's the unfairness of it all: We're born into a broken world, and all our experience is surrounded by badness.  This is what we know, and it shapes our lives-- all the cards are stacked against us.  THEN we die.  We were given one shot, and a handicapped shot at that, followed by an eternity of... the nothingness that follows the one shot.

COME ON.

(Me: this is where Purgatory is a grand solution-- death followed by the consequence of our life, with a knowledge of ultimate reality sustaining us.)
