A Monday kind of passage...

Ecclesiastes 4:1-3 Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun:I saw the tears of the oppressed—and they have no comforter;power was on the side of their oppressors—and they have no comforter. And I declared that the dead,who had already died,are happier than the living,who are still alive. But better than bothis the one who has never been born,who has not seen the evilthat is done under the sun. 

The preacher is sitting back, looking at life around him, and it's not pretty.  Somewhat cynical, he looks around and does not like what he sees.  In Jonah-like fashion, he struggles to find reason to go on.  Would it have been better to never be born?

Recently I watched a movie called "Doonby".  In order to understand the gist of the movie, you need to do a word scramble with the title, but simply put, it asks this very question.  Thankfully, the answer is "no."  Every one of us makes a difference, even on Mondays.
