Question

How we should lead our lives? A psalm of life​

Answer 1

Answer:

First, the speaker begs the psalmist not to sing to him in numerous, sorrowful ways about how life is empty and unreal. In the speaker's opinion, the soul that passively experiences life is essentially dead. Moreover, one shouldn't assume that life is merely how it seems from a certain Christian perspective—that it's just a precursor to eternal life after death.

Life, the speaker demands, is very much real and full of meaning. Life, the speaker adds, is sincere and intense. The meaning of life is not simply death. The Christian saying of "dust to dust," which states that humans come from the earth—or "dust"—and return to dust upon death, only refers to the body and not the soul—so the soul should be full of life.
