DAY 141
All Come from Dust, and All Return to Dust
기원전 3세기경 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
הַכֹּל הָיָה מִן־הֶעָפָר וְהַכֹּל שָׁב אֶל־הֶעָפָר
📜 THE VERSE
All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all return to dust.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
I, who will return to the same dust, why did I weigh so much of high and low today?
📝Reflection
The Preacher says plainly that human and beast return to the same dust. To the proud it is a cold warning; to the weary, a deep comfort. If we all return to the same dust, how light the ranks and comparisons that crush us today become. The Buddha called this body "an illusion borrowed for a while." To remember we return to dust — memento mori — does not darken life but makes this breathing moment radiant. Only one who knows death lives today.

🌱Apply It Today
For a rank or comparison that shrank you today, look again through the eye of "we who return to the same dust."
