The problem with being human is:
We want everything done now,
Done the "right way" we...
We want to know everything,
We think we know everything,
We don't. God does
Will we ever?
No

Will...
Will everything
We do ever be totally
right?, done right now?
No. So why don't we leave
it to God? Because we want
To be in control. It's our life, it's mine,
Not God's. And it's also, believe it or not, it's
The Problem With Being Human.
