Yet To Be # 47

the dead cannot hope

#13 of 31 The Dead & Hope

Dead men cannot hope. Hope is for the living not the dead.

For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope,

For a living dog is better than a dead lion.

For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not any thing,

Neither have they any more reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Also their love, and their hatred and their envy is now perished; neither have they any more portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.  Ecclesiastes 9 verse 4
