Chapter 9 verse 2 everything be falls everyone equally

Chapter 9 verse 2 everything be falls everyone equally. The righteous the evildoor the pure the impure the one who brings an offering the one not who does not bring an offering as is the good so is the sinner he who swears is as he who fears an oath what he's trying to say here is that the tragic uniformity that characterizes the entirety of the human experience which is that everything that happens could happen to everyone and anyone. Even someone who's at the Pinnacle of moral life is liable to be harmed and destroyed by the mean arrows of the troubles of earthly existence. Faith ignores the existence of different degrees of greatness in human character. To faded makes no difference whether a person is righteous good or pure. What this is important is that a thinker will learn from this uniformity of human faith that you must be humble and passing judgment. The thinker will discover that the inescapable and necessary existence of the moral good is rooted in a hidden transcendent element. And regarding the object of the investigation who the vote to at the sharpness of their thought you will have only one response which is I can't find it.

In the book

And Kohelet did not stop at the comfortable cosmic view. He admitted the part we least want to hear — that the race is not always won by the swift, nor the battle by the strong, nor bread by the wise, for time and chance happen to them all, and that in the end the same fate befalls everyone alike, the righteous and the wicked together. He had watched good people perish in their goodness and bad ones prosper for years; he watched a man labor his whole life only to hand the results to a successor he never chose, and caught the smaller daily ironies too — that the laborer sleeps sweetly whether he eats little or much, while the very abundance of the rich man will not let him rest. — Takeoff Into Chaos
