The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favour to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all.
God does not judge the way humans judge. Can we ever blame him for not saving his own children? Can we ever accuse him of not being faithful or merciful? The wise man stops and contemplates life. He asks important questions: questions about this world or the next, questions about life and death, questions about right and wrong, questions about what is good and what is not.
