Re: Elitist I thought it was interesting how the same observations have been made about the world for ages. Of course the conclusion of the author of Ecclesiastes is that the equalizer that makes things even in the end comes in the afterlife.
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man's all.
For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil."
I think this reflects a basic human desire to make sense of things and an understanding that if this life is all there is then things can seem very pessimistic.
