Nowhere to my knowledge have the issues of life been more eloquently and even poetically defined than in the bible in the Book of Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes contains the thoughts of "the Philosopher", King Solomon who reflected deeply on how short human life is with its mysterious injustices and frustrations. In the mirror of Ecclesiastes, many have taken comfort in discovering that hope in God is far much the only thing that gives life its greater meaning.
In the words of the Philosopher, "there is nothing new under the sun." What has happened before will happen again. What has been done before will be done again. There is nothing new in the world. These words have sunk deep in my heart and have opened up my eyes to see that whatever it is that we may be going though is nothing new to our all knowing God. One point or another someone went through the exact same thing. I draw encouragement from these words in that, the only hope I have in this meaningless life is in God. For this is the only thing I find comfort in knowing that only God can give life its greater meaning.
We like it or not we all deep within us believe in the existence of a supreme being. If not, then why do we hope and yet we can’t see what lies in store tomorrow. It is this hope that we long for the morning, which drives us towards achieving success. We silently call upon our supreme being to intervene in our day to day activities knowing or unknowingly.
