These four songs that are dedicated to God indicate the QUESTions we discussed in class; is there unfairness in the world? If there is why?
At least, it answers one of the questions, “Is there unfairness in the world?” As you can see, all the three characters are talking to God, with the hope of salvation. However, only the character from chapter 23 gets to get the “goodness and mercy” from God. What about the others? They all seem to have absolute faith towards God. The one from Psalm chapter 137 asked about how to sing the song of LORD God. He one from 51 asked for the salvation of his soul. The one of 42 asked for the chance to see Him. What was the difference between them and the one that is receiving God’s mercy? Was there really a difference?
From the previous stories, I believe it is chosen by randomness or better said by God’s likeness. For example, in Job. He was chosen to be the one punished because God wanted to make a point with Satan. The reason why it was Job was because he was one of the (one of the) one who was “righteous”. Which was one of the conditions Satan mentioned.
As a conclusion, I would say that unfairness exists due to the random choosing.
