7 June 2007 – Live a Full Life
Ecclesiastes 5:15
Naked a man comes from his mother’s womb,
and as he comes, so he departs.
He takes nothing from his labor
that he can carry in his hand.
Solomon, who is a wise man, wiser than all others, thinks that everything is meaningless, why did he say that? I personally has an opinion to share, if something is too much for a person, it will bring disaster rather than blessings even if the matter is good for itself.
The matter includes wealth, wealth is a good thing by itself, it is totally agreed. Wealth can make us do what we want, without money, it is impossible for us to make influence to others.
Ecc 7:12
“.. money is a shelter, …”
Without money, we don’t have shelter. As a person really pursuing wealth by all of his life, then it will be meaningless, as Solomon said, chasing after the wind.
Naked a man comes when he was born, and so when he dies, he will take nothing back to him. This is the reason why Solomon said that everything is meaningless. What shall we say then? Do we not live the life to the fullest since it is meaningless? Certainly not! We indeed should live it to the max, it is okay for us to pursue the things like wealth, God has given us the days for us, so it is good for us to enjoy and be glad in it!
Let us have an optimistic view of life, the view of life will start to be magnificent once you have changed your mindset, and make yourself into a new attitude!
