Runaway Love

     So as we have continued to explore Kohelet even further, I would like to say that I am extremely bothered with the Amal. First, he was so into helping other people and then he just took a turn and was so caught up only on himself. One main thing that irritated me though was what he was saying in Perek 6, Pasukim 1-6. Kohelet basically says that since he cannot take his money with him when he dies it is all worthless. He also says that he cannot solve his problems, he cannot control his fate, he cannot be perfect, and he cannot have EVERYTHING so he would rather have not been born. Okay Kohelet, I am sorry but this is ridiculous.
             By saying all of this, Kohelet seems so spoiled and obnoxious. Does he not think about the starving kids who have it far worse than him? The people suffering from disease? The people people who are living on the streets? So there are all these much bigger problems and then there is the Amal who cannot find simcha because he cannot have everything?

I wish the Amal would have heard the song Runaway Love and then complained about how he cannot have everything.
Here are the lyrics:
Now little Lisa's only nine years old
She's tryin' to figure out why the world is so cold
Why she's all alone and they never met her family
Momma's always gone and she never met her daddy

Part of her is missin' and nobody'll listen
Momma's on drugs, gettin' *** up in the kitchen
Bringin' home men at different hours of the night
Startin' with some laughs, usually endin' in a fight

Sneakin' in her room when her momma's knocked out
Tryin' to have his way and little Lisa says ouch
She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her
Tries to tell her mom but her momma don't believe her
........................................................................................
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love
Runaway love, runaway love

Little Nicole is only ten years old
She's steady tryin' to figure why the world is so cold
Why she's not pretty and nobody seems to like her
Alcoholic step-dad always wanna strike her

Yells and abuses, leaves her with some bruises
Teachers ask questions, she's makin' up excuses
Bleedin' on the inside, cryin' on the out
It's only one girl really knows what she's about

Her name is little Stacy and they become friends
Promise that they'll always be tight 'til the end
Until one day, lil' Stacy gets shot
A drive-by bullet went stray up on her block

Now Nicole's stuck up in a world on her own
Forced to think that **** is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back

Now, Amal, why can't you find happiness?
