Ecclesiastes 1

The end of the first chapter is weighed down with words of frustration and insight. Frustration because that in which we tend to put the greatest value, this existence, offers us so little. As we learn more earthly knowledge we find ourseleves emptier. The more complicated our thoughts the more complex are the questions we face. That may be one reason why Jesus calls us to a "child-like" faith. If we complicate the truth of the Gospel we will only find it more complex. The simpler we explain it the less effort is required to accept it.  In this world great thinks need volumes to express themselves. In God's kingdom the greatest is not one who speaks but one who serves.
It took me a couple minutes to read the begining of this book of wisdom.
