'''Life's useless''''''reflecting .....Life's useless''' It is useless, useless, life is useless, all useless??
You spend your life working, laboring, and what do you have to show for it?
Generations come and go , but the world stays the same.
The sun still rises, and it still goes down, going wearily back to where it must start 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 rivers began, and starts all over again.
Everything leads to weariness-a weariness too great for words.
Our eyes never see to be satisfied, our ears never hear enough.
What has happened before will happen again.
What has been done before will be done before.
There is nothing new in the world, look, they say, there 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.
''A time for everything''
Everything that happesn in this world happens at the time God chooses.
1) He sets the time for birth and the time for death, the time for planting and the time for pulling up, the time for killing and the time for healing, the time for tearing down and the time for building.
2) He sets the time for sorrow and the time for joy, the time for mourning and the time for dancing, the time for making love and the time for not making love, the time for kissing and the time for not kissing.
3) He sets the time for finding and the time for losing, the time for saving and the time for throwing away, the time for tearing and the time for mending, the time for silence and the time for talk.
4) He sets the time for love and the time for hate, the time for war and the time for peace.
What do we gain from all our work? I know the heavy burdens that God has laid on us. He has set the right time for everything. He has given us a desire to know the future, but he never gives the satisfaction of fully understanding what he does.
From Alex's incidence, I have reflected alot in life, and I have became closer to God. I realised that all we can do is be happy and do the best we can while we are still alive. All of us should eat and drink and enjoy what we have worked for. It is God's gift. I know that everything God does is to make us stand in awe of him. Whatever happens or can happen has already happened before. God makes the same thing happen and happen again.
