Ecclesiastes

These are the words of the Philosopher, Davids son, who was king in Jerusalem

"It is useless, useless, said the philosopher. Life is useless, all useless.
you spent your life working, labouring and what do u have to show for it?

Generations come and generations go but the world stays just the same
the sun still rises and it still goes down, going wearily back to where it starts all over again

The wind blows south, the wind blows north-round and round and back again
every river flows into the sea but the sea is not yet full, the water returns to where the
river began and starts all over again.

Everything leads to a weariness - a weariness too great for words.
Our eyes can never see enough to be satisfied; our ears never hear enough

What has happened before will happened will happen again
What has done before will be done again. there is nothing new in this world

"Look," they say, "here is something new!" But no;
It has all happened before, long before we were born

No one remembers what has happened in the past ;
and no one in days to come will remember what happens

Between now and then.
