New International Version (©1984) "But many who are first will be last, and the last first." Mark 10:31

Its talking about all the suffering in the world... whether suffering from living in a third world country, to another situation you are living in.. or mental/emotional/physical/or/and spiritual.. And is based on the bibles verse from, Mark 10:31... The world has drained us, we all hurting some way or another.. but it is sort of like a hope song? Its about everything.. like rejection,loneliness, heart ache, disappointment, failure, poverty... everything.

Who's at fault is not important Good intentions lie dormant and we're all to blame While apathy acts like an ally My enemy and I are one and the same

-Do you guys know what this verse might mean?? :)

Hey, thats a cool explination, I totally agree with the relation to that verse.

this is my understanding of the verse: Who's at fault is not important Good intentions lie dormant (inactive/ asleep) and we're all to blame While apathy (an absence of emotion or enthusiasm) acts like an ally (friendly association to) My enemy and I are one and the same

Stop pointing the finger; we are all to blame in one way or another for the troubles that man has made. Staying in an apathetic state (an absence of emotion or lack of enthusiasm) is our own enemy... To...

Also Matthew 5:1-12 talks of how even though we may struggle as believers or whoever on this earth, if we believe in the gospel we can "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven.."(verse 12, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted"(verse 4)

Correct interpretations!
