Humanity


Psalm 84:5 

How blessed are those who find their strength in You,
and long to travel the roads that lead to Your temple!

 

Humanity: Why is it?

 

If life travels on its destined sea and water shows no ripples

Why do we want to make a change and escape the then familiar?

Why not relax and let things be ... why not embracing peace as simple?

Why do we always want to rearrange ... is not this partly peculiar?

 

“Contentment and godliness is great gain” why choose dissatisfaction?

What are our eyes focused on ... why do wants and wished lead them?

Isn’t that the reason for much pain and the selfish main attraction?

Isn’t that why humanity struggles on and the reason for most mayhem?
