Ecclesiastes
(The Bible)

Publicidade
In this world, everything is meaningless, not because it is worthless, but because death is our final solution. Ecclesiastes is one of the deepest, most philosophical works in the Bible, and certainly any place else. The author follows a deterministic line?almost depressing?until he finishes with the truths that make Ecclesiastes the book that it is: That we all share the same destiny, that we all should strive for happiness, and that the best way to strive for happiness is to live in moderation and keep God close to our hearts.

Ecclesiastes is written in the form of poetical proverbs. The book is short, being only several pages in length, but priceless in its content as far as pure philosophy goes. The Teacher claims that all he has done is meaningless in his life?wisdom, toil, advancement?but that this is in and of itself our destiny, that man is here to perform the same acts that the Teacher finds to be meaningless?that we are here, so we should make the best of our situation.

The tone of the first half of Ecclesiastes is drastically different than the second half. The first half is very forceful in that everything is meaningless, but the second half looks deeper, past the obvious, to show how we, as people, can overcome the author's truths.
