I recently finished reading the Bible. I’m not religious or anything, but reading that book had been a goal of mine for a little while, mostly because of the undeniable impact it’s had on human development (for better or worse). As I made my way through Ecclesiastes, I got to a section titled Everything Has Its Time. I instantly recognized that the words were eerily similar to the song “Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season).” Further research confirmed that they were, in fact, one and the same, which I found absolutely fascinating.
