I saw the tears of the oppressed-
and they have no
comforter;
power was on the side of
their oppressors-
and they have no
comforter.
And I declared that the
dead,
who had already died,
are happier than the living,
who are still alive
But better than both
is he who has not yet
been,
who has not seen the evil
that is done under the
sun.

+Ecclesiastes+
