U2's THE JOSHUA TREE is a spiritual rock album, one of my favorites. This song shows how one's quest for spiritual fulfillment or a sense of being is never satisfied.
Lately, I've been questioning my spiritual sense. I'm tired of feeling second best in my careers, especially after the latest job interview in which I was very close to landing a rare and coveted full-time teaching position. I went through three interviews and a teaching demo. I know I'm a good teacher and a valuable asset to my campus community, but alas, I still wasn't good enough to be hired.
Does God, or the force of spirit, want to keep us feeling second best? I really resent those whose doors in life automatically open without hard work. Why are the doors still shut after so much hard work?
Maybe U2 can answer that question in another song.
