Why Is Light Given To The Miserable... Whose Path Has Vanished?

 "Why is light given to the miserable,

and life to the embittered?

To those who long for death

more than for hidden treasure?

They rejoice at the sight of their end,

they are happy upon reaching the grave.

Why give light to a man whose path has vanished,

whose ways GOD blocks at every side?

- Job 3:20-23

Job tries to understand the adversity afflicting him.

(Why are children born crippled or blind, or destined for an atrocious death?  We would be wrong to only think of the marginalized or those crushed by misfortune.  It's in the world where nothing is wanting where people are not desperate, but without hope in the midst of gadgets: it is there where young couples opt for death in not wanting to have children.

In past centuries people were driven by the uncontainable energy of life.  They lived and made sacrifices for the survival of their people.  Our parents worked and procreated without asking themselves why.  When people reach maturity in critical thinking, they need an answer to this question: Why live if, in the end, life leads nowhere?)
