But better off than either are those who have never been born, who have never seen the injustice that goes on in this world.
They are not happy till they are dead and buried;
I have seen everything done in this world, and I tell you, it is all useless. It is like chasing the wind.
So life came to mean nothing to me, because everything in it had brought me nothing but trouble. It had all been useless; I had been chasing the wind.
How terrible it will be in those days for women who are pregnant and for mothers with little babies!
For the days are coming when people will say, ‘How lucky are the women who never had children, who never bore babies, who never nursed them!’
