Old Testament Metaphor.

I hope for the day when everything is done already. I'm fucking tired of it!

Why did Saul become the leader of Israel if what he only did was nothing. David here, this little innocent David, is working hard to suffice the needs of his master. This young boy is doing his best, and now he's tired. What does he do now? He can't offend Saul. He's the King of all Israel. David doesn't want the recipe to be put in the book. He asked guidance from his brothers. It's a miracle that his brothers all agree that that recipe must not be put in there, however, Saul is still King.

Joseph, on the other hand, is just the governor of Egypt. He worked hard, very hard to make Egypt ready for the coming famine. He's not the Pharaoh. He's just a mere second-hand. Yet, all the burden is under him. He sleeps late just to make sure that the rice supply is fine. He visits the town and the farm often. It's like, he's the Pharaoh himself. The Pharaoh, on the other side, is making himself busy, by just slacking around. Joseph knew of this, and he now gets tired of him, but is there something he can still do?
  
The Pharaoh is so egotistic and only thinks of himself. While Moses is trying to release the Israelites from the cruel Egyptians, he can't, because the Pharaoh is only thinking of himself. What about the rest of the people? Can't he think of the Israelites for once? He's only thinking of himself, and his wife, and his love life. Who doesn't get tired of it?

Noah already the warned the people that there will be this great flood. The people only laughed at him and ignored him. They focused on doing their own useless things instead of being with Noah. Now, what will happen next? Death. Failure. Argh.

When this is over, I'll be in my deepest slumber.

AMEN.
