I absolutely love this verse, but then I get to the last one, and am totally turned off: Ecclesiastes - A time for everything:
"There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace."
I love this verse for its beautiful message and the ideology behind it. But then, I really don't like the last two lines, b/c there never should be a time to hate or time for war. What do you think?
