The sweat of thy face

"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." Thus was the curse from God Almighty, and man has lived with it ever since. This "sweat" takes many forms. For some, it is literal perspiration as they make their living in the world. For others it is stress. For some it is isolation and loneliness.For some it is the deterioration of the body from repetitive motions. But it is there. We cannot escape it.
