WOW! Are we EVER on different pages of the Bible! My morning reading included:
Ecclesiastes 4:1-2
Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
Night and Day!
I like you guy's verses better!!!

PS - Did you ever wonder if the "Preacher" who wrote Ecclesiastes was at a particularly 'somber' point in his life?
