From the Paper:

"The 90th Psalm teaches people to set right priorities for their life. Nowadays, many people are concerned about getting the most of their life. But these people should not forget that on the background of God's eternity their days are a single moment. Even if some people may live to a "ripe old age", it is really so short when compared to eternity. Because of that, men should not waste their efforts in an attempt to maximize the amount of fun they get from their life. This is meaningless in comparison with efforts directed on gaining eternal life. Time passes by unobserved by us, as it does with men asleep. And when it is over, it is nothing. Life is like an illusion. Men's life is short. Any "achievement" one has is temporary and has no lasting value. The message of the Psalm in relation to men's lives is clear. Setting right priorities in relation to God is crucial in terms of adding meaning to one's life."
