Even Wisdom Is Meaningless!

Hi! and happy holy and family day to all of us, GUYS.  Our first-thing-first this Sunday:

THE GOOD NEWS (31 July 2016)

"I, the teacher, have been king of Israel in Jerusalem.  I set my heart on studying and examining critically all that is done under heaven.

It is a burdensome task which GOD has given to the sons of men!  I have seen everything that is done under the sun, but all is meaningless: it is chasing the wind.  What is bent cannot be straightened; what is not will not come to be.

I thought to myself, 'See, I have increased and promoted wisdom more than anyone who ruled Jerusalem before me and I have experienced to the full both wisdom and knowledge.  I set my heart on comparing wisdom with foolishness and stupidity, and I discovered that this also is chasing the wind.

For the wiser you are, the more worries you have, and the more you learn, the more you suffer." - Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 

(Under the sun: these words will come back as a refrain: humans toil and pass as a shadow while the sun remains.  The sun is like an image of GOD who endures and who alone does things "with a view to eternity".

The wiser you are...The pioneers of science were sure that progress would free us from all evils.  Our century has lost this assurance: development is not a road to easy life, one is slave to one's own brain and one's own knowledge, obliged to assume the consequences that become more formidable each day; although one does not know the way, one cannot stop.)
