10 You can't even understand things that you have been familiar with since you were a child.
11 How then can your little mind understand the ways of God Most High? Can someone already worn down by this corrupt world understand the ways of the incorruptible God?”When I heard this, I fell face downward on the ground
12 and said to him, “It would have been better if we had never been born than to have to live in a world of sin and suffering without understanding why things happen as they do.”
13 The angel Uriel answered, “I once went into the woods and heard the trees plotting together.
14 They were saying, ‘Let's go to war against the sea and push it back, so that we may have more room.’
15 But the waves of the sea also plotted together and said, ‘Let's conquer the woods and extend our territory.’
16 But all the plotting of the trees was useless because fire came and destroyed them.
