Beautiful truth: It’s not dark yet ….

A beautiful book, Ecclesiastes, and how great, that no ready-made answers are imposed on us:
"When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe man's labor on earth—his eyes not seeing sleep day or night- 17 then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all his efforts to search it out, man cannot discover its meaning. Even if a wise man claims he knows, he cannot really comprehend it." (Eccl. 8, 16-17)
And, how beautiful the song of Bob Dylan: It’s not dark yet …… “There's not even room enough to be anywhere; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there ... ”
We learn, and we learn a lot. “It looks like I’m moving, but I’m standing still”, Bob sings. And there is nothing new under the sun, the Preacher says. “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1,9).
