Ecclesiastes 7

It took me about 3 minutes to read this chapter that Solomon wrote. This passage is filled with insightful wisdom, cynical ramblings, and one very profound observation. The very last verse in the chapter makes a note of what God did in us; he created mankind in purity. Solomon's wisdom led him to notice that the evil in this world is not God's fault, rather it is the fruit of mankind seeking our own way, and rejecting God's way in the process. The Message states it with these words; ". .we're the ones who've made a mess of things."
