There is a themeand i think i've talked about almost everything that i hilatedut. But there is one miny theme that comes across in one of the sections a at my favourite place, whre he says, do not be with your mouth. Do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before god. God is in heaven, you are on earth, so let your words be few. Se talks about like, you know, i'm not sure what to make of it. And i get a little defensive, cause all i do is talk a lot. It's very much like an anti resentment sentiment here, which is like, there's no point in being bitter

David and Tamler dive into the book of Ecclesiastes, an absurdist classic that is somehow also a book of the Bible. Is everything meaningless, vain, and a chasing after the wind? Are humans just the same as animals? Are wise people no better off than fools? Will God judge us after we die, rewarding the good people and punishing the shit-heels? What if there is no afterlife and this is all we get? How should we deal with our pointless, unjust existence? Plus we return to our opening-segment bible— Aeon—and talk about an argument for replacing jealousy with...wait for it…compersion.
