Fallacy
Ecclesiastes 12:1 New English Translation (NET Bible)
Fear God Now Because Old Age and Death Come Quickly
12 So remember your Creator in the days of your youth—
before the difficult days come,
and the years draw near when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”;
Peeking at my youth. Where did I misplace it?
Why did I leave it behind? Was it not mine to keep?
Although at that time it was not appreciated
As I wanted to grow up in such “my will” to sweep
Extraordinary longings as one are young and “pure”
Why exchange that “innocence” in our hunger to grow up
It seems all a vicious cycle that all children endure
As through withheld ignorance, we stumble to get up
What do we need to survive and what does it really take?
Are veggies and meat not sufficient? Why do I love chocolate?
I think I’ll ask my wife as I drink this milkshake
And afterward, some other stuff to approve this fallacy
Jan Wienen
