Ecclesiastes 1-2: Nothing Makes Sense

The opening chapters ask whether life has any meaning and answer in the negative: everything seems pointless, as if chasing after wind. The author tried learning, working, making music, eating, and even drinking but found nothing lasting. He writes about how time is wasted, people feel tired, sad, angry and that even wisdom can’t bring real satisfaction. Yet he also points out that God exists beyond the sun’s light, encouraging us to ask questions instead of accepting emptiness.
