For That Man Is Flesh

There is some discussion between scholars about whether the text says 'is flesh,' or 'is also flesh.' Because it does actually use the word 'also' in the original written source language/s.

And those discussions among Jewish rabbis has turned even more convoluted, to whether the intention is simply to compare 'Man' with other living creatures on earth - namely, that they are 'also' flesh (like those creatures are) - or whether the intention is to distinguish between a 'spiritual' aspect and then a physical 'flesh' aspect. (In other words, that Man is composed of two different aspects - but there is no consensus that this is what is intended in the text). 

We know the fellow who owns this, Smithy.
I saw it today down at King Street.

If you were there he would have given you

knows me, dude.

Well it doesn't bother me what the 'correct answer' is, because I am more interested to know what the problem was in the first place. And that, is clearly specified in the text -, which is, that Man is always contending with a Being of far superior knowledge, wisdom and power, and that Being has gotten sick and tired of listening to the nonsense.

How can someone, who has the brain cell memory of fifty years, suddenly turn around and adamantly thump the table, and contend (argue, vociferously) with someone of vastly greater lifespan, experience, knowledge and wisdom?

Yes, certainly, there is a pejorative case which goes 'but God (as well as ET too, for example) is crazy and therefore we cannot say that He really is Wise.'

So the justification made by men who do this kind of thing (thump the table and yell at strangers from another planet) is based on the idea that human beings have some unquestionable moral right of species, some natural intrinsic moral standing.

Well how? How do they have it? Where did they get it from?

Or are people just making it up that Mankind has such a thing?

The beauty of such stupidity is it sure saves having to contend with idiot human beings and their 'cats in a sack' mentality after you open the Gates of Paradise to them.

Jesus! Bill opened his gates to Melinda - and she divorced him! Was it his fault? She married him after all. He was a lunatic psychopath at the start, he is that now. He's not smart though. Her bank account went up while his flames died down.

Any warm-blooded Brooklyn girls
around? It's getting cold.

Human women are not different to human men in a certain sense. They are loose canons on the decks of the ship of existential reality.

Human men and human women are broadly the same when it comes to acting like 'cats in a sack' over things they think they 'want.'

'You don't want that.'

'I do want it.'

'Trust me, you don't want it.'

'I do want it. I do want it. I do want it. And anyway, why should I trust you?'

The end of that story is about the definition of 'fatally flawed.'
