ECCLESIASTES 6

THE TRAP OF DISCONTENTMENT

There is evil in the world, robbing us of enjoying God’s gifts. Even when we have wealth, we can’t always enjoy it. The Teacher asserts that it would be better to be a stillborn child, never experiencing this world, than to live and never be satisfied. 

People toil their entire lives trying to satisfy their cravings, but are they ever really full? There is not much we can do to control what happens, so there is no reason to dwell on the past or dream of the future. Whatever will happen, will happen.
