"Worthless" and dust
Ecclesiastes 1:8 New English Translation (NET Bible)
8 All this monotony is tiresome; no one can bear to describe it.
The eye is never satisfied with seeing, nor is the ear ever content with hearing.
Why do I write some junk? Somewhere a seed was planted.
In what I saw on TV or my mind touched somehow.
It is not worth the paper that it is written on.
It seems that in the span of things thought is easily flawed.
It does not take a genius to discover this.
It does not have to appear important to demand all attention.
All it has to do is stir up some dust
and trigger an emotion and some lust not to mention.
Jan Wienen
