12:52.

For someone who has a fair streak of melancholy who is quite intense about life issues, this verse jumped out at me and conked me over the head. I must had read it before but somehow, it shouted today.

Ecclesiastes 9: 4 - 6
"Anyone who is among the living has hope —
even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!
For the living know that they will die,
but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward,
and even the memory of them is forgotten.
Their love,
their hate
and their jealousy have long since vanished;
never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun."
