Chapter 7 - Pathetic existence
Job continues to lament over the meaninglessness and pointlessness of his pathetic existence. Job asks why his life is so important to God that God must oversee every moment of his life to test him. He wonders why he has become the target of God. He wonders how he could have sinned in a way that God would choose to do this to him. He pleads for forgiveness instead of torture.
*Targeted by God*
There have been many times in my life that my soul has echoed this sentiment as I writhe in pain from scoliosis. There is a certain amount of helplessness that comes when you realize that your fate is out of your control. When you believe that God exists, it imbibes a certain teleology to all of your experiences - bad things that happen to you are not the result of mere misfortune, but rather the purposeful dictates of the almighty above. This can be a very sad psychological state to be in. Not only are you suffering, but your father in heaven, who is supposed to be on your side, has decided to betray you.
