food for thought


in today's society, we are taught that we should be the ones who should know it all; but, in reality, it's the opposite. came across this while reading Job.




Job 8

and find out what their fathers learned,
9 for we were born only yesterday and know nothing,
and our days on earth are but a shadow.


to corroborate with it...
