“Eleanor Rigby” is a song by the English rock band, the Beatles. It is from their 1966 album Revolver. It is about people who lead absolutely meaningless lives. So many people identified with the lyrics because of their empty experiences here on the third rock from the sun. Sorry to say, but I believe the consumers of such things are realists as they examine their existence and call it what it is.
The Scriptures mentions such individuals:
Job 15:31-32
Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his payment. It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not be green.
Isaiah 53:4
Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
The answer to emptiness is hope:
Come on now, Eleanor Rigby or any other lonely soul. Get with the program and reach out to God.
Psalm 42:11
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
Give it some thought.
