When will we realize all is meaningless?

Wealth, fame, fortune, power – it is all but a delusion. We will never be satisfied, always wanting to get ahead, always wanting more. Is this not the folly of man? Is this not our hubris? Greed will only drive you mad. It will be a gaping hole in your soul that will never be filled. We toil and wrestle with these things on Earth, but it is all for nothing.

One generation will come, and soon another after, but the earth remains the same. What has been done will be done again, and there is nothing new under the sun. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be a remembrance of things that are to come.

There is but one thing that can save us: Faith. This, too, may be in vain. Many people mock Faith, shunning it and calling it nothing but insanity. They are free to think this way, and it is not our duty to strip them of it. People of Faith are merely messengers. We spread and water the seeds of Faith throughout, but it is ultimately up to the individual to make the plant grow. Through Faith, we are saved, and our lives are given purpose. For no earthly thing can truly save us.

Faith may be all we have left.

And I fear our time is short.
