1. who is He

He who can believe in Truth when lies swirl all about, is he who has invested that he may understand enough to discern, is he who can find the works of truth, yet he may not hold truth as his own, but he may enjoin with it that it may spread further into and among many.

Thus so... one has to give attention to that which he hold value, and in such he finds what is honor, even if it not bestowed upon him, he shall be among the honorable. Lest he became haughty, and consumed in vanity, he cast himself from among the honorable.

Its a time ....

The Vanity of Life
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

2 “Vanity[a] of vanities,” says the Preacher;
“Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”
3 What profit has a man from all his labor
In which he toils under the sun?
4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes;
But the earth abides forever.
5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down,
And [c]hastens to the place where it arose.
6 The wind goes toward the south,
And turns around to the north;
The wind whirls about continually,
And comes again on its circuit.
7 All the rivers run into the sea,
Yet the sea is not full;
To the place from which the rivers come,
There they return again.
8 All things are [d]full of labor;
Man cannot express it.
The eye is not satisfied with seeing,
Nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which it may be said,
“See, this is new”?
It has already been in ancient times before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things,
Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come
By those who will come after.


Therefore is it unto each...

He who can believe in Truth when lies swirl all about, is he who has invested that he may understand enough to discern, is he who can find the works of truth, yet he may not hold truth as his own, but he may enjoy it that it may spread further into and among many.

So in our day and time, we come to seek the need to spread the truths we have come to know of Democracy.....
