Meaningless....

As i sat there looking at the cermony being conducted, familiar words just began to refresh my memories once more, bringing and knocking in the reality of life once again. The reality of death. The final destiny of every human on the face of this earth. Be it the rich, powerful, mighty, arrogant, poor, pityful, proud, young or old will meet this day. The passing of my uncle somehow knocked it some sense into my self-focused life towards earthly things. Not that they are bad, but they are just not as important as life at the end of the day.

The book of ecclesiastes had it right, the author wrote " meaningless, meaningless, a chasing after the wind." At this point, i took another glance at the coffin..........all the material things that we've chased so much for will be gone. Not even a part of it will we be able to bring it along with us. What then does it count in the end?? The fun , the love , the enjoyment may be well the only things that we can cherish when we depart. What else then is it worth while on earth, it might well be what the author of ecclesiastes had said: "Fear God and keep his commandments,for this is the whole duty of man." I think these are wise sayings.
