(DANIEL CHAPTER 8)
Chapter 8 : It’s time for Bildad to speak. Like Eliphaz, he is not encouraging at all !
Job 8:3 : « and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind ? »
So Job was able to help many people who were in trouble and now he is good to nothing ! Strange !
Where is pride ? For Bildad, Job is a sinner and is guilty because God doesn’t pay attention to him ! Childish again, pure nonsense ! Is it because you are in trouble or ill that you are guilty ? It seems to be that Eliphaz and Bildad say the same things, but I don’t see any encouragement, it seems really boring ! But then it enhances Job’s personality ! There is not a lot to say !
(DANIEL CHAPTER 9)
According to Job, man is nothing compared to God ! God is powerful ! He is the creator of everything ! There is no one like God ! May I say that Job is angry against God, I don’t know, he tries to do his best to be God’s friend, he was blessed and now the situation has changed to the opposite and he doesn’t know why ! Does he complain ? Yes because he doesn’t understand at all ? Who wouldn’t do the same ? Would it be wrong ? I’m not saying that believers would complain to God but what I know is that many complain today because they don’t understand what’s going on ! Many think that if there was a God, he wouldn’t permit what’s on ! I’m not discussing this point, it’s only to make people think about Job’s attitude !
Job is a man and so he acts according to what he knows, nothing more nothing less! do we don't do the same?

- Thanks for the question! That's a good one! You are the first to ask such a question at chapter nine! Personally I would have never asked such a question! I would have not thought about it! But think when I do something I read it again and again! Let's take the way I am trying to answer your question: it's not a text I am writing from beginning to end, not at all, when I start to read it again, I have more ideas, not at the end of the text, no, at the first line or the second one or the third one... I would say when you buy a sandwich, there isn't one flavor, people have different tastes, some will stay with one flavor, others will want to try every flavor! Does a tree have only one root to feed itself and to stay firm? What is more important? The number of neurons we have or the interconnections between them? When you go to a building, do you go to all the floors or do you choose one or more? if everybody was answering the question, would they give the same answer? There are plenty of reasons! Why does the Bible have so many books and not only one? If you watch TV, do you always watch the same channel? People may decide only to look at Chapter one or some chapters or all chapters, it's up to them, it's a free choice! Personally, I try to answer everything I can whenever possible or according to what I want to say! For me, it's far easier to do so, I couldn't do the same if there was only a big amount of pages and pages! I would find it boring! Sometimes people answer, sometimes no, but when nobody answer or only few people, I can concentrate on the summary and add something I hadn't thought about! It's more personal, it helps me to go deeper because the more you think about one idea, the more ideas you get! Personally, I often do different things at the time, I have always done that! My thoughts go faster than my hand which writes! It always go in many directions and I want to explore all these directions! if you hadn't asked your question I would have never said what I am saying now! Every chapter is a new experience, a new travel to Job! I want to exchange ideas with a maximum of people and that's what I do by doing it through chapters! It's a way to renew the ideas on each chapter because each chapter has its own importance and can make you think about something particular and it is not possible if you just have one big puzzle! When you do a puzzle, you finish it and that it, you forget it, that's not my way! I always want to renew the subjet and push people to express themselves! Sometimes they need time, a lot of time, maybe never, who knows, it doesn't matter! I just want to give the possibility to people to THINK! Probably the best answer is that if I hadn't do so, you wouldn't have asked your question and I wouldn't have written this text!
- According to the World health Organisation here are some facts about depression:
Key facts
Depression is a common illness worldwide, with an estimated 3.8% of the population affected, including 5.0% among adults and 5.7% among adults older than 60 years (1). Approximately 280 million people in the word have depression (1). Depression is different from usual mood fluctuations and short-lived emotional responses to challenges in everyday life. Especially when recurrent and with moderate or severe intensity, depression may become a serious health condition. It can cause the affected person to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, at school and in the family. At its worst, depression can lead to suicide. Over 700 000 people die due to suicide every year. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death in 15-29-year-olds.
Although there are known, effective treatments for mental disorders, more than 75% of people in low- and middle-income countries receive no treatment (2). Barriers to effective care include a lack of resources, lack of trained health-care providers and social stigma associated with mental disorders. In countries of all income levels, people who experience depression are often not correctly diagnosed, and others who do not have the disorder are too often misdiagnosed and prescribed antidepressants.
Patient and desperate at the same time! Do you know many people like that!
