Agree ... there is a heavy element of truth in Job's observation.

I sometimes push back like this mentioning Marshal Tucker lyrics:

I heard it in a love song.

I heard it in a love song.

I heard it in a love song.

Can't be wrong.

No, the whole point is it is wrong: you were told what you wanted to hear. They got their's now where are you? Stop believing the nonsense!

Fleetwood Mac's players only love you when they're playin' is the same sentiment.

Where oh where is our vaunted common sense? Atticus had it in to kill a mockingbird. Alas Job reminds Atticus is the exception.

This more so applies to current American politics ... which has been on my mind of late.
