while the fool walks in the darkness;
but I came to realize
that the same fate overtakes them both.
Then I thought in my heart,
“The fate of the fool will overtake me also.
What then do I gain by being wise?”
I said in my heart, “This too is meaningless.”
For the wise man, like the fool, will not be long remembered;
in days to come both will be forgotten.
Like the fool, the wise man too must die!
Ecclesiastes 2:14-16 (NIV 84)
Neither ugly nor pretty
Neither lonely nor surrounded by lots of friends
Neither smart nor dumb
Neither single nor in a relationship/married
Everything will come to an end and one day perish and become MEANINGLESS!!
Why find meaning in the meaningless things that we know are temporary and oneday will perish?? Ironic that i still find myself doing so knowing that it is useless!! Finding meaning in career and status are so much more attractive than in Jesus who already sacrificed so much for me!!
BUT knowing that Jesus wont perish and fail me when career and status will, do I keep walking towards career and status, or do i stop and change direction towards Jesus?? I am stopping and changing my direction,
how about you??
