Have you ever felt beat down by life? Ben Sira might have felt that way. The first part of this chapter deals with the difficulty that life sometimes brings us. Hard work, perplexity, anger, envy, trouble and unrest are part of every life from time to time.
Have you every felt life was wondreful and a great joy? Ben Sira must have felt that as well. The second part of this chapter deals with that. Wealth and wages, children and property, good music and friends make life worth the living.
Perhaps this chapter is an invitation to savor life both in good times and in bad.
