"When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, "Why god? Why me?" and the thundering voice of God answered, "There's just something about you that pisses me off.""
- Stephen King
About this Quote
This quote from Stephen King talks to the powerlessness of Job in the face of tragedy. Regardless of his faith in God, Job is unable to comprehend why he has gone through such suffering. His cries of anguish are consulted with a response that is both unexpected and deeply unsettling. God's response implies that Job's suffering is a result of his own actions, and that God is penalizing him for something he has done. This quote acts as a reminder that, in spite of our faith, we may never understand why we go through suffering. It also acts as a warning that, even in our darkest minutes, we should stay modest and accept that God's will is ultimately unknowable.
