Okay, so I'm really sad on a rainy cloudy day.
So I pick up my bible and flip to Ecclesiates because it is supposed to be teaching about why life has meaning and happiness. But this is what I found instead:
Everything is meaningless,” says the Teacher, “completely meaningless!”
3 What do people get for all their hard work under the sun? 4 Generations come and generations go, but the earth never changes. 5 The sun rises and the sun sets, then hurries around to rise again. 6 The wind blows south, and then turns north. Around and around it goes, blowing in circles. 7 Rivers run into the sea, but the sea is never full. Then the water returns again to the rivers and flows out again to the sea. 8 Everything is wearisome beyond description......
It says
-The wise and foolish are the same because both will end up dead.
-Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. (Chapter 7)
-Sorrow is better than laughter. (Chapter 7 again)
And it continues on about how pointless life is....
It was actually quite depressive. XD.
Didn't help at all.
Could someone explain the meaning behind this if you know Ecclesiates.
