The Great Nebula in Orion

You who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

 Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name...

"There is a right time and a right way for everything,
       yet people often have many troubles.
They do not know what the future holds,
       and no one can tell them what will happen.
No one can control the wind
       or stop his own death. 
No soldier is released in times of war,
       and evil does not set free those who do evil."

                                                 King Solomon

"I realized the reason people work hard and try to succeed: They are jealous of each other. This, too, is useless, like chasing the wind.
   Some say it is foolish to fold your hands and do nothing, because you will starve to death.

  Maybe so, but I say it is better to be content
       with what little you have. 

  Otherwise, you will always be struggling for more,
       and that is like chasing the wind."

King Solomon
