Ecclesiastes 9:3-6 - Where There's Life, There's Hope
3 Among all things that come to pass under the Sun, this is a mystery, that it happeneth unto all alike. This is the cause also that the hearts of men are full of wickedness, and mad foolishness is in their hearts, as long as they live, until they die. 4 And why? As long as a man liveth, he is careless: for a quick dog, say they, is better than a dead lion. 5 For they that be living, know that they shall die: but they that be dead, know nothing, neither deserve they anymore. For their memorial is forgotten, 6 so that they be neither loved, hated nor envied: neither have they anymore part in the world, in all that is done under the Sun.
