Ecclesiastes 1 的热门经文

分享

The more wisdom you have, the more you will worry. The more you learn, the more you suffer.

Things that are happening now will continue to happen in the future. What people have done before other people will do again. There is nothing truly new anywhere on the earth.

Everything continues in the same way. There is nothing important to talk about. Nothing that we see is enough to make us happy. There are always more things that we want to hear.

The Teacher says, ‘Nothing has a purpose. Nothing that ever happens has a purpose.’ People work very hard while they live on the earth. But in the end, what do they receive in return for their work?

I thought about all the things that people do on the earth. I realized that all these things have no purpose. It is like somebody who tries to catch the wind.

Old people die and then their children live after them. But the earth continues and it never changes.

People do not remember things that happened in the past. In the future, people will not remember what has happened either.

So I decided to study how much wisdom and knowledge really help a person. I wanted to learn if it was better than someone who only does foolish things. But this was also useless, like somebody who tries to catch the wind.
