The psalmist reflects on some of his contemporaries with discernment.
Psalm 73:5 New Jerusalem Bible
exempt from the cares which are the human lot
they have no part in Adam's afflictions.
The psalmist can see that their perspectives on life have settled.
The way they perceive and value things and people
has become part of the people they are;
Their own greed and covetousness--all rationalized
and justified by social convention.
The theme of contemporary advertisements adds it up.
Have it all . Have it now. Get more. Indulge yourself.
Have the best. Be one up.
