Climbing Life's Ladder With Kohelet(Ecclesiastes) #2

"For there is not a righteous person upon the earth who will do good and will not sin" Kohelet 7:20

Many translations miss the point that the yaaseh tov( יעשה טוב) is future tense meaning "will do good" and the same applies to VeLo Yecheta(ולא יחטא) meaning will not sin.

I would like to suggest that this is one of the most encouraging verses for us all , especially those of us, who fall a lot and are on the cusp of giving in.

Part of life, part of our unique Divinely tailored journey to goodness, happiness,greatness, holiness to Oneness..to revealing and discovering that we are an authentic someone..some of the One that is G-d is that we will falter, we will make mistakes no matter who we are. G-d has empowered us to make a choice when we make mistakes
Are we going to miss what is at stake?( hint:the authentic irreplaceable life that is yours that noone else can live etc)
Or do we want to eventually start to realize by always getting back up what is at stake?

So.. yes as the verse says you will make mistakes but never forget ,as it also ,says you will also do good.
