verses read: Ecclesiastes 7:21-29
prayer: 10 minutes
Wisdom. That’s what chapter 7 is about. The whole chapter reads like a chapter from Proverbs; a lot of sayings. Then again, both books could have been written by King Solomon; hence the similarities. It also reads like a philosophical argument. But that’s what “philosophy” means; “I love wisdom” or “lover of wisdom”.
Anyway, in his search for wisdom, the Teacher finds that a lot of things are futile. At the core of it; it is the transient nature of life. The whole book seems to revolve around that theme. That whatever we do here on earth is at the end of the day “meaningless”; because we will all perish. Of course, the main conclusion and final thoughts on this matter are at the end of the chapter; so that’s only a partial conclusion to the message of the book.
Rain has finally ended. The good news is that my room withstood the onslaught this time round. So no flooding. So I’ve replaced my CDs and DVDs back in their usual place. This time I placed them in plastic boxes and covered them.
Will be going to school today. Have CG at night; even though it is my free day. Going to the library to get work done on my thesis. Have an idea on how to proceed with some theorems; so going to have to look into that.
Downloaded more GENS Roms; Sonic, Moonwalker and Quackshot. Like my brother told me, “You are going to fail this sem.” Will play them at another time. Will hole myself up in the science library the next few weeks to get the major parts of my thesis done. I think I should be able to get a very rough draft done by the weekend. Midterm talks are coming soon; will need some inspiration to get all the work on that done.
