Ecclesiastes: A venerated hint of psychological adaptations

• Psychological Adaptations: A Model and It's Relevance by James Brody, 4/24/97
  
  

The integrated, complimentary (usually!) functions of Psychological Adaptations give a sameness to our many societies. In more elegant language:

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant; and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace"
