00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080
 Before we go on, let's ask the Lord's blessing as we open his word.

00:00:07.860 --> 00:00:12.640
 Father, we need desperately to be humble, honest people.

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:14.280
!

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:20.559
 Not because humility is a good virtue, and if we're honest, we like to be around humble

00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:20.559


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.000
 that we won't hide behind accomplishments, good behavior, politeness, but Lord, we will

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.299
 see us for how we truly are, people that are in desperate need of a savior, people that

00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:50.760
 look to all sorts of different things to be a savior to us, and yet all these things come

00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:51.060
 short.

00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:58.299
 Lord, help us to have eyes to see and ears to hear and minds to comprehend what you would

00:00:58.299 --> 00:01:00.159
 speak to us this morning from your word about.

00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:01.799
 We pray this in Christ's name.

00:01:03.379 --> 00:01:09.659
 In 1940, Viktor Frankl and most of his family were rounded up and sent to a Nazi concentration

00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:10.179
 camp.

00:01:10.679 --> 00:01:12.700
 He endured years in multiple camps.

00:01:12.739 --> 00:01:18.819
 He actually survived, but he lost his entire family, including his wife, whom he had recently

00:01:18.819 --> 00:01:19.140
 married.

00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:25.340
 After he was liberated, he wrote a book titled Man's Search for Meaning.

00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:32.880
 In it, he recounts that, among other things, that prisoners who found purpose were able

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:37.240
 to endure the horrors of the camps, whether or not they were murdered or they survived.

00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:39.740
 He would say in his book, quote,

00:01:40.380 --> 00:01:45.040
 Those who have a why to live can bear with almost any how.

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:52.000
 I think it's a remarkable book, and although it is not gospel truth, there's a lot of wisdom

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:58.260
 in Frankl's writing.

00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:04.500
 Having a purpose is so very essential to what it means to be human.

00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.360
 We need to understand and feel that what we do matters.

00:02:07.540 --> 00:02:11.319
 Nobody wants to work for it to count for nothing.

00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:17.599
 We want to know we're not just a cog in a machine, but we have a place.

00:02:19.780 --> 00:02:22.400
 But how do we find such meaning?

00:02:23.259 --> 00:02:24.439
 That's the real challenge.

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:29.500
 We know that we need a purpose, but where do we find it?

00:02:30.859 --> 00:02:36.519
 We search for our meaning in things that do not last or cannot last, and we become lost

00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.880
 when the thing that defines us no longer works.

00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:45.719
 And what follows is a crisis of purpose.

00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:49.939
 We're in our second week in Ecclesiastes.

00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:55.300
 I've chosen, even though the English Standard Version of which we're reading calls

00:02:55.300 --> 00:03:02.360
 the teacher or the main character, the preacher.

00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:03.700
 I like to call him the sage.

00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:08.360
 And here the sage begins his real investigation.

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:15.180
 If he kind of laid out what the problem is in verses 1 to 11 of chapter 1,

00:03:15.880 --> 00:03:19.420
 what follows could be called him getting into the quest.

00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:21.680
 The search for purpose.

00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:23.100
 The quest for meaning.

00:03:23.740 --> 00:03:29.160
 To find out what exactly humanity's true purpose and meaning in life look like.

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:33.099
 So, this is a longer text.

00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.719
 We're going to touch on just about every aspect of it.

00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:40.699
 We'll look at chapter 1 of 12 to 18.

00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.519
 That's what Brad read for us, but we're going to actually go through the rest of chapter 2.

00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:47.519
 We're going to look at the quest itself.

00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:51.019
 The sage will lay out the parameters for his quest.

00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:56.960
 And he will look at three aspects of where we, as 21st century Canadians,

00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:04.240
 and also Israelites from 3,000 years ago, where we will find or look for meaning.

00:04:05.320 --> 00:04:08.879
 Specifically, we'll look for meaning in pleasure and in culture.

00:04:09.600 --> 00:04:11.640
 And we'll look for meaning in wise living.

00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.660
 We kind of call that clean living now.

00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:19.839
 And then finally, work and vocation.

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:26.600
 So, the sage, he begins his quest, verses 12 to 18 of chapter 1.

00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.819
 And he introduces himself as a Solomonic figure.

00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:37.879
 So, King Solomon, the third king of Israel, the successor to King David, King David's son.

00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:42.379
 He was a grand figure, kind of Israel's high point in the kingdom.

00:04:42.379 --> 00:04:47.259
 Whether or not Solomon wrote this, I think is besides the point.

00:04:47.379 --> 00:04:53.860
 I think we can glean some stuff if we, you know, read it as if Solomon himself wrote it.

00:04:53.980 --> 00:04:57.980
 I think we can glean other things if we see it in a different way.

00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.860
 I will just say that this sage, whether or not he is Solomon,

00:05:01.019 --> 00:05:03.659
 he is introducing himself as a Solomonic figure.

00:05:03.660 --> 00:05:09.060
 A kind of king that has unbelievable wealth and renown,

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:15.060
 who has philosophized and investigated the meaning of life and death.

00:05:16.260 --> 00:05:24.300
 And he has done it in such a way where all of his money and his resources and his faculties have been employed.

00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:30.580
 Every rock, so to speak, has been overturned in the quest to find meaning.

00:05:30.579 --> 00:05:36.019
 Therefore, the Solomonic figure, he's to be trusted.

00:05:36.699 --> 00:05:40.399
 He has done such a thorough job, far better than anything we could do.

00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.120
 And he is saying, listen, right off the bat, I have undertaken this quest.

00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:51.620
 It is far more thorough than anything that anybody else has tried.

00:05:51.919 --> 00:05:53.479
 Like, just trust me on this.

00:05:53.480 --> 00:06:00.080
 And yet, this most capable and well-equipped sage states from the very beginning

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:03.900
 that such an inquiry, it did not lead to an answer.

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:09.160
 In fact, it only caused him more difficulty and frustrations.

00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:10.980
 It caused him to have more questions.

00:06:10.980 --> 00:06:19.420
 Despite his great efforts, such an inquiry was ultimately fruitless.

00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:25.140
 For the sage, he could not find the answers to the questions he sought.

00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:28.620
 This is what he says in verse 14, and I'll read to 18.

00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.319
 I've seen everything that is done under the sun.

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.200
 And behold, all is vanity and striving after wind.

00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.500
 And just a bit of a reminder from last week, if you forget or if you weren't here,

00:06:41.060 --> 00:06:45.680
 vanity is this term that we'll see throughout Ecclesiastes,

00:06:46.060 --> 00:06:48.819
 and it describes vapor, mist.

00:06:49.139 --> 00:06:54.240
 I described it last week as a cold, frigid February morning,

00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.300
 and you breathe, and you just see mist.

00:06:56.699 --> 00:06:57.339
 You see it.

00:06:57.500 --> 00:06:58.399
 You can't grasp it.

00:06:58.480 --> 00:06:59.599
 You can't keep it.

00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:00.620
 You can't bottle it.

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:02.379
 It is gone.

00:07:02.379 --> 00:07:06.920
 Go back to verse 14.

00:07:06.980 --> 00:07:07.500
 I'll read it again.

00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.519
 I have seen everything that is done under the sun,

00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.339
 and behold, all is vanity, all is vapor, all is mist,

00:07:13.100 --> 00:07:14.620
 and a striving after the wind.

00:07:15.819 --> 00:07:17.540
 What is crooked cannot be made straight,

00:07:18.100 --> 00:07:20.019
 and what is lacking cannot be counted.

00:07:20.899 --> 00:07:21.579
 I said in my heart,

00:07:21.659 --> 00:07:25.899
 I have acquired great wisdom surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me,

00:07:25.939 --> 00:07:30.519
 and my heart has had great experiences of wisdom and knowledge.

00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.819
 And I applied my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly.

00:07:34.919 --> 00:07:38.560
 I perceive that this is also but a striving after the wind.

00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:39.479
 Verse 18.

00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:42.039
 For in much wisdom is much vexation,

00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.000
 and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:50.719
 It's not as if the sage here is saying that there is nothing good under the sun,

00:07:51.379 --> 00:07:53.819
 that life is devoid of any goodness.

00:07:53.819 --> 00:08:01.019
 Rather, he is describing our collective inability to exhaust all there is to know.

00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:07.980
 So the most capable, the smartest, the wealthiest of all philosophers,

00:08:08.300 --> 00:08:10.019
 of all investigators,

00:08:11.219 --> 00:08:14.719
 he is realizing that there are limits he's bumping up against.

00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.219
 He can only know so much.

00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.079
 That's really what verse 15 is getting at.

00:08:19.159 --> 00:08:20.659
 What is crooked cannot be made straight.

00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:22.579
 What is lacking cannot be counted.

00:08:22.579 --> 00:08:25.079
 There are limits to our ability to understand.

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:30.039
 In fact, the more the sage investigated,

00:08:30.539 --> 00:08:33.240
 the more he understood that the world is not as it should be,

00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:35.419
 and we are not as we ought to be,

00:08:35.500 --> 00:08:39.199
 and yet there must be an answer to this crisis,

00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.519
 this search for purpose and meaning,

00:08:41.980 --> 00:08:46.879
 because no human being is satisfied with just existing.

00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:54.240
 It's not enough to just breathe and eat and sleep and wake up and do it all again the next day.

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:58.200
 So the sage, right from the beginning,

00:08:58.340 --> 00:09:03.899
 it's if he's sitting in an armchair as an elderly man,

00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.399
 giving this story of, you know,

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:11.779
 back in the day I did a wildly thorough investigation of life.

00:09:11.779 --> 00:09:13.439
 It came up short.

00:09:14.019 --> 00:09:15.019
 Now let me tell you about it.

00:09:15.079 --> 00:09:16.240
 Let me walk you through it.

00:09:16.939 --> 00:09:19.379
 It's like almost a bit of a retrospect here.

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:26.899
 You'll get into the first investigation of pleasure and culture.

00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:29.439
 Starting in chapter 2, verse 1.

00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:33.760
 I said in my heart,

00:09:34.460 --> 00:09:36.340
 Come now, I will test you with pleasure.

00:09:36.980 --> 00:09:38.120
 Enjoy yourself.

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.040
 But behold, this also was vanity.

00:09:41.780 --> 00:09:42.540
 I said of laughter,

00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:43.420
 It is mad,

00:09:43.540 --> 00:09:44.320
 and of pleasure,

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:45.920
 What use is it?

00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:48.520
 I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine,

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.060
 my heart still guiding me with wisdom,

00:09:51.160 --> 00:09:52.940
 and how to lay hold on folly

00:09:52.940 --> 00:09:53.980
 till I might see

00:09:53.980 --> 00:09:56.660
 what was good for the children of man

00:09:56.660 --> 00:09:57.960
 to do under heaven

00:09:57.960 --> 00:09:59.960
 during the few days of their life.

00:10:00.400 --> 00:10:01.480
 I made great works.

00:10:01.820 --> 00:10:02.660
 I built homes.

00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:04.460
 Sorry, I built houses

00:10:04.460 --> 00:10:05.840
 and planted vineyards for myself.

00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.540
 I made myself gardens and parks

00:10:08.540 --> 00:10:11.360
 and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees.

00:10:11.900 --> 00:10:13.019
 I made myself pools

00:10:13.019 --> 00:10:15.259
 from which to water the forests of growing trees.

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.040
 I bought male and female slaves

00:10:18.040 --> 00:10:19.860
 and had slaves who were born in my house.

00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.100
 I had also great possessions of herds and flocks,

00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.500
 more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem.

00:10:26.500 --> 00:10:29.659
 I also gathered for myself silver and gold

00:10:29.659 --> 00:10:31.860
 and the treasure of kings and provinces.

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:34.460
 I got singers, both men and women,

00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:35.960
 and many concubines,

00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:38.720
 the delight of the son of man.

00:10:39.340 --> 00:10:40.159
 I'll pause there.

00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.299
 The sage now seeks pleasure

00:10:42.299 --> 00:10:44.620
 in this quest to find ultimate meaning.

00:10:45.340 --> 00:10:47.799
 He aims to engage all the physical senses

00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:52.500
 to discover if any ultimate meaning exists in there.

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:55.600
 He visits the finest restaurants.

00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:57.539
 He drinks the best vintage.

00:10:58.100 --> 00:10:59.320
 He parties with the A-list.

00:10:59.460 --> 00:11:01.600
 He enjoys the top entertainment of his day.

00:11:02.059 --> 00:11:04.480
 He undertakes large building projects

00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.539
 as if he were some kind of ancient Emirati.

00:11:07.539 --> 00:11:14.000
 He designs grand gardens that rival Eden itself.

00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:16.219
 I think I'll touch on this a bit later on.

00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.079
 The language here of building a park,

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:22.199
 in the original language,

00:11:23.019 --> 00:11:27.039
 it has Edenic kind of overtones to it.

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:31.259
 Again, fruit trees, pools, forests.

00:11:32.439 --> 00:11:33.679
 This man is undertaking

00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.559
 an incredible legacy building project

00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.939
 to enjoy culture and goodness and pleasure.

00:11:42.299 --> 00:11:43.819
 He then explores sensuality

00:11:43.819 --> 00:11:45.679
 with whoever he desires,

00:11:46.199 --> 00:11:49.179
 even if it means against their will.

00:11:49.299 --> 00:11:52.899
 Clearly slavery and concubines here.

00:11:52.899 --> 00:11:56.199
 He has servants for every need,

00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:57.840
 vacation homes,

00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:59.279
 he has cottages,

00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:00.959
 and more money than he can spend.

00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:02.100
 I mean,

00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:09.340
 it really is a no-holds-bars deep dive.

00:12:09.459 --> 00:12:11.639
 And somehow, he says at the beginning of all of this,

00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:13.500
 that somehow he kept his faculties.

00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:15.620
 He wasn't given completely into hedonism.

00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:17.360
 Hard to understand how,

00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:19.519
 but nevertheless, this is what he says.

00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:21.620
 And the question is,

00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:26.480
 has it brought him any long-lasting,

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:27.779
 deep, eternal meaning?

00:12:30.259 --> 00:12:32.200
 He continues on in verse 9 and 10.

00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.399
 So I became great and surpassed

00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:36.940
 all who were before me in Jerusalem.

00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.360
 Also my wisdom remained with me.

00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:41.679
 That's kind of like he didn't let himself go

00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.179
 into all sorts of

00:12:43.179 --> 00:12:47.779
 an uncontrollable, hedonistic experience.

00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:48.659
 Verse 10.

00:12:48.659 --> 00:12:51.259
 And whatever my eyes desired,

00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:52.500
 I did not keep from them.

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:54.559
 I kept my heart from no pleasure,

00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:57.259
 for my heart found pleasure in all my toil,

00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.199
 and this was my reward for all my toil.

00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:04.100
 There are no kings or queens among us,

00:13:05.779 --> 00:13:08.159
 but modern Western life is about as close

00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:11.959
 to a royal existence that anybody has had

00:13:11.959 --> 00:13:13.079
 in the history of mankind.

00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.759
 It's really incredible what we have at our fingertips.

00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:20.340
 We're no longer subsistence farmers.

00:13:21.280 --> 00:13:22.139
 We have options,

00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:24.200
 and plenty of them.

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:27.240
 So many options that we get exhausted from our options.

00:13:29.180 --> 00:13:31.160
 And many of you, if you're honest,

00:13:31.680 --> 00:13:32.520
 myself included,

00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:34.580
 I see some of myself,

00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:36.780
 you might see some of yourself in these verses,

00:13:37.540 --> 00:13:39.960
 recognizing a similar experience to the sage.

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.120
 Like the sage, you haven't really held anything back

00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:44.360
 that your eyes have desired.

00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:48.680
 Any things that your heart has wanted,

00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.720
 you have indulged in.

00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:55.500
 You have enjoyed both lawful and wonderful pleasures,

00:13:55.700 --> 00:13:58.960
 but also maybe unlawful and illicit pleasures.

00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:05.700
 But have you felt a sense of purpose and meaning in them

00:14:05.700 --> 00:14:07.320
 that still resonates today,

00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.259
 that continues on,

00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:11.740
 that doesn't diminish in any way?

00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.200
 You still feel that sense of purpose and meaning,

00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:17.580
 that great enjoyment,

00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:19.200
 or has it waned?

00:14:19.540 --> 00:14:20.280
 Even worse,

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:22.759
 do you feel guilt around it,

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:24.180
 some of those illicit things?

00:14:24.179 --> 00:14:26.719
 I know I do.

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:30.219
 Maybe you do as well.

00:14:33.979 --> 00:14:35.719
 The sage continues, verse 11.

00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.539
 Then I considered all that my hands had done,

00:14:39.979 --> 00:14:42.799
 and the toil I had expended in doing it,

00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:43.339
 and behold,

00:14:43.959 --> 00:14:46.799
 all was vanity and a striving after wind,

00:14:47.299 --> 00:14:50.240
 and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.080
 You know,

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:58.500
 we engage in this consumption

00:14:58.500 --> 00:15:02.139
 that really doesn't have many limits.

00:15:02.180 --> 00:15:03.340
 I'm speaking generally here.

00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.259
 Thinking that it will gladden our hearts,

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:10.220
 and yet we all know that getting everything you want

00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:13.500
 does not lead to pleasure,

00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:17.539
 but it is a kind of,

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.259
 I don't want to say hell on earth

00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:22.740
 because it seems too dramatic,

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.440
 but it leads to maybe more heartache

00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:28.179
 than it does to a heart that's gladdened.

00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:32.480
 When children are given everything they want

00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.899
 and no is not a word that they've heard,

00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:38.460
 usually these children don't grow up to be

00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:41.399
 fine, wonderful, thoughtful, caring,

00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.559
 selfless, well-rounded adults,

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:46.019
 what do we say?

00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:47.439
 They become spoiled.

00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.159
 This is what it looks like to pursue pleasure as an end,

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:57.179
 completely devoid,

00:15:57.699 --> 00:15:58.740
 completely without God.

00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.919
 In fact, the sage,

00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:02.199
 like I mentioned before,

00:16:02.319 --> 00:16:04.919
 he tries to imitate the reality of Eden,

00:16:05.139 --> 00:16:06.159
 of a paradise,

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:09.139
 but Eden

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:11.699
 had God

00:16:11.699 --> 00:16:14.179
 residing in it.

00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:16.120
 The Eden he's creating

00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:16.719
 is completely

00:16:16.719 --> 00:16:18.379
 without God.

00:16:19.740 --> 00:16:20.419
 And in fact,

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.379
 you'll notice how God

00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:22.199
 is completely absent

00:16:22.199 --> 00:16:22.600
 from this

00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:24.360
 complete

00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:25.939
 pursuit of pleasure.

00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:26.799
 What does he say?

00:16:27.219 --> 00:16:27.959
 I made,

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:28.699
 I built,

00:16:29.139 --> 00:16:30.000
 I gathered,

00:16:30.319 --> 00:16:30.860
 I had,

00:16:30.899 --> 00:16:31.339
 I grew,

00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:32.079
 I got,

00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.400
 whatever my eyes

00:16:34.400 --> 00:16:35.860
 desired,

00:16:36.020 --> 00:16:37.180
 I did not keep from them,

00:16:37.300 --> 00:16:39.020
 I kept my heart from no pleasure.

00:16:39.500 --> 00:16:40.020
 It's me,

00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:40.700
 it's I.

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:44.520
 He is trying to build himself up,

00:16:45.100 --> 00:16:46.840
 to bring himself glory,

00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:48.379
 to engage in all the things

00:16:48.379 --> 00:16:50.620
 that will elevate him

00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:51.100
 to the very

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:53.060
 highest of thrones.

00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.360
 His self-esteem is like

00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:57.040
 at an 11.

00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.000
 But bolstering one's self-esteem

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.879
 is not a recipe

00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:02.940
 for meaning and purpose.

00:17:04.900 --> 00:17:05.880
 Really interesting.

00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:07.319
 Some of you may know

00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:07.960
 Arthur Brooks.

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:11.059
 He is a happiness expert,

00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:11.900
 if you can even call

00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:12.500
 somebody that.

00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:14.819
 He's a Harvard professor,

00:17:15.180 --> 00:17:16.059
 and he's wrote

00:17:16.059 --> 00:17:17.019
 a ton of books.

00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:18.640
 I listened to

00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:19.559
 a podcast

00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:22.240
 this week

00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:23.559
 where he was talking

00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:24.259
 about this

00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:25.940
 pursuit of the me,

00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:27.740
 this embrace

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:28.460
 of the I.

00:17:29.140 --> 00:17:29.960
 And this is what he said.

00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:31.400
 Quote,

00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:33.859
 left to my devices,

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:34.900
 I'm going to think

00:17:34.900 --> 00:17:35.880
 all day long

00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:36.920
 about my stuff,

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:37.660
 all the things

00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:38.720
 that I'm actually doing.

00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:40.319
 And that's really boring,

00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:40.960
 and it's tedious,

00:17:41.180 --> 00:17:41.880
 and it's terrifying,

00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:42.519
 and it's terrible.

00:17:43.140 --> 00:17:44.740
 It's hard to break out of that,

00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:45.619
 as a matter of fact.

00:17:46.539 --> 00:17:47.619
 It's one of the characteristics

00:17:47.619 --> 00:17:48.839
 of clinical depression,

00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:50.480
 ruminating,

00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:52.619
 thinking about yourself.

00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:54.359
 And it's almost like a prison.

00:17:54.460 --> 00:17:55.680
 It's like you're locked up with,

00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:58.779
 it's like you're locked up

00:17:58.779 --> 00:18:00.080
 with you all the time.

00:18:00.580 --> 00:18:01.779
 That's one of the characteristics

00:18:01.779 --> 00:18:02.720
 of clinical depression.

00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:05.000
 You get peace and perspective

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:06.900
 instead from zooming out

00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:08.700
 into the universe

00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:10.340
 and finding your smallness.

00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:12.279
 It's paradoxical, isn't it?

00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:14.920
 It feels like you should be

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:16.340
 less happy when you're small,

00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:18.000
 because your self-esteem

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.640
 would be lower.

00:18:19.560 --> 00:18:20.060
 Side note,

00:18:20.180 --> 00:18:21.380
 the self-esteem in literature

00:18:21.380 --> 00:18:22.280
 that everybody thought

00:18:22.280 --> 00:18:22.720
 they knew,

00:18:22.900 --> 00:18:24.160
 which is that if your self-esteem

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:24.720
 is higher,

00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:25.880
 you'll be happier.

00:18:26.020 --> 00:18:27.060
 It doesn't stand up.

00:18:27.740 --> 00:18:29.120
 And a lot of really good scientists

00:18:29.120 --> 00:18:29.900
 have questioned that.

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:30.240
 Why?

00:18:31.660 --> 00:18:33.140
 Because of this autofocus.

00:18:33.620 --> 00:18:34.980
 It's maddening to be thinking

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:36.280
 about yourself all the time.

00:18:36.380 --> 00:18:37.120
 Me, me, me.

00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:38.420
 I'm so great.

00:18:38.540 --> 00:18:39.360
 I'm so important.

00:18:39.540 --> 00:18:40.480
 I'm so interesting.

00:18:41.100 --> 00:18:41.780
 And then he says,

00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:43.320
 no, you're not.

00:18:43.740 --> 00:18:44.600
 And thank God.

00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:46.220
 That's important for us

00:18:46.220 --> 00:18:46.660
 to remember.

00:18:46.660 --> 00:18:52.720
 An intense focus on me

00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.580
 is no recipe for salvation.

00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.000
 It is a recipe for disaster.

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:01.380
 And if such,

00:19:01.900 --> 00:19:03.200
 and it kind of begs the question,

00:19:03.320 --> 00:19:04.620
 if such unchecked pleasure

00:19:04.620 --> 00:19:06.540
 will not bring meaning and purpose,

00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:08.980
 surely the opposite, right?

00:19:09.100 --> 00:19:10.279
 A morally upright

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:12.180
 and intellectually vigorous life

00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:13.700
 will give us pleasure.

00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:16.460
 So if an engagement of hedonism

00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:19.299
 and enjoyment without limits,

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:22.039
 if that will not give us pleasure,

00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:23.779
 let's pendulum swing to the other side.

00:19:24.840 --> 00:19:27.160
 Let's look at the next section

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.240
 starting in verse 12 to 17.

00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:30.720
 The sage returns to the quest.

00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:33.700
 So I turn to consider wisdom

00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:35.319
 and madness and folly.

00:19:36.579 --> 00:19:38.120
 For what can the man do

00:19:38.120 --> 00:19:39.720
 who comes after the king?

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:42.920
 Only what has already been done.

00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:45.840
 Then I saw that there is more gain

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.079
 in wisdom than in folly.

00:19:47.259 --> 00:19:48.639
 So, sorry,

00:19:48.879 --> 00:19:50.379
 I'll start verse 13 again.

00:19:50.459 --> 00:19:52.419
 Then I saw that there is more gain

00:19:52.419 --> 00:19:54.139
 in wisdom than in folly

00:19:54.139 --> 00:19:55.779
 as there is more gain in light

00:19:55.779 --> 00:19:56.419
 than in darkness.

00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:57.939
 The wise person

00:19:57.939 --> 00:19:59.559
 has his eyes in his head

00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:00.919
 but the fool walks in darkness.

00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:03.299
 And yet I perceive

00:20:03.299 --> 00:20:04.439
 that the same event

00:20:04.439 --> 00:20:05.519
 happens to all of them.

00:20:05.899 --> 00:20:06.879
 Then I said in my heart,

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.019
 what happens to the fool

00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:09.119
 will happen to me also.

00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:11.399
 Why then have I been

00:20:11.399 --> 00:20:12.699
 so very wise?

00:20:12.700 --> 00:20:14.680
 And I said in my heart

00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:15.279
 that this

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:17.880
 is also vanity.

00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:19.960
 For the wise,

00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:21.660
 as of the fool,

00:20:21.819 --> 00:20:23.080
 there is no enduring remembrance,

00:20:23.660 --> 00:20:25.720
 seeing that in the days to come

00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.620
 all will have been long forgotten.

00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:29.759
 How the wise dies

00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:31.000
 just like the fool.

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:32.900
 So I hated life

00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:34.620
 because what is done

00:20:34.620 --> 00:20:35.220
 under the sun

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:36.120
 was grievous to me.

00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:37.640
 For all is vanity

00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:38.420
 and a striving

00:20:38.420 --> 00:20:39.400
 after the wind.

00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:41.940
 I've committed to living

00:20:41.940 --> 00:20:42.580
 a good life,

00:20:42.940 --> 00:20:43.519
 you might say.

00:20:44.560 --> 00:20:45.740
 I'll pursue morally

00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:46.900
 upright activities.

00:20:47.940 --> 00:20:49.740
 I will avoid associating

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:52.320
 with degenerates.

00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:54.040
 I will donate

00:20:54.040 --> 00:20:54.900
 to the right charities.

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:56.340
 I will support

00:20:56.340 --> 00:20:57.259
 the right candidates.

00:20:57.420 --> 00:20:57.960
 I will contribute

00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:58.780
 to my church.

00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:01.060
 I will compost.

00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.380
 I'll offset

00:21:02.380 --> 00:21:03.300
 my carbon footprint.

00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:04.060
 I will do whatever

00:21:04.060 --> 00:21:04.860
 is necessary

00:21:04.860 --> 00:21:05.820
 to live according

00:21:05.820 --> 00:21:06.920
 to the vision

00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:07.820
 of a good,

00:21:08.380 --> 00:21:09.759
 morally upright life

00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:11.580
 from whatever perspective

00:21:11.580 --> 00:21:12.380
 I support

00:21:12.380 --> 00:21:13.560
 and I choose to embrace.

00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:15.300
 Surely this will give me

00:21:15.300 --> 00:21:16.279
 a sense of meaning

00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:17.160
 and purpose

00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:18.300
 beyond this life.

00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:20.380
 And the answer,

00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:21.660
 the sage says,

00:21:21.740 --> 00:21:22.220
 is no.

00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:24.940
 You will perish

00:21:24.940 --> 00:21:25.759
 in the same way

00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:26.320
 as the fool.

00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:28.200
 So what's the point?

00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:29.120
 The sage,

00:21:29.560 --> 00:21:31.019
 he is rattled.

00:21:31.779 --> 00:21:32.840
 He is vexed.

00:21:32.900 --> 00:21:33.720
 He is upset.

00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:36.039
 And he says

00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:37.380
 that he has hated life

00:21:37.380 --> 00:21:38.440
 not because he has

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:40.319
 developed a suicidal,

00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:43.000
 a set of suicidal thoughts

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:44.299
 but because his quest

00:21:44.299 --> 00:21:45.460
 kept falling short.

00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:47.519
 This is what a frustrated

00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:48.839
 person looks like.

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:50.920
 This is what hopelessness

00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:51.400
 looks like

00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:52.759
 when it begins to set in

00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:55.140
 and begins to take hold.

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:57.700
 Have you ever felt this way?

00:21:58.420 --> 00:21:58.579
 Right?

00:21:58.680 --> 00:21:58.900
 I mean,

00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:00.839
 the sage is laying out

00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:01.559
 his experiences

00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:03.720
 so we can think about ours.

00:22:04.139 --> 00:22:05.559
 Have you ever felt this way?

00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:08.879
 There's much to be gained

00:22:08.879 --> 00:22:10.079
 in a morally upright life.

00:22:11.819 --> 00:22:12.440
 Hear me out

00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:13.339
 what I'm saying.

00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:13.700
 Listen,

00:22:13.819 --> 00:22:14.339
 I'm not saying

00:22:14.339 --> 00:22:15.919
 be done with morally

00:22:15.919 --> 00:22:16.879
 upright behavior.

00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:19.279
 It's a good thing.

00:22:21.339 --> 00:22:22.879
 But does such behavior

00:22:22.879 --> 00:22:25.460
 achieve for you salvation?

00:22:25.460 --> 00:22:30.380
 And the answer is no.

00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:31.440
 It is a vain pursuit

00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:32.420
 for death will come

00:22:32.420 --> 00:22:33.140
 to everyone.

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:35.660
 And this is something

00:22:35.660 --> 00:22:36.620
 that seems morbid

00:22:36.620 --> 00:22:38.079
 and maybe not very

00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:39.019
 kind of the power

00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:40.000
 of positive thinking.

00:22:41.819 --> 00:22:42.640
 But it's important

00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:44.100
 that we will remember

00:22:44.100 --> 00:22:44.920
 that we will die.

00:22:47.140 --> 00:22:48.039
 Philosophers of old

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:49.380
 and Christians of old

00:22:49.380 --> 00:22:49.819
 as well

00:22:49.819 --> 00:22:50.480
 talk about

00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:51.900
 a memento mori

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:53.640
 to remember your death.

00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:53.700
 death.

00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:58.060
 If you look at any art

00:22:58.060 --> 00:22:59.700
 around the time

00:22:59.700 --> 00:23:00.600
 of the Black Plague

00:23:00.600 --> 00:23:01.440
 you will see

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.000
 humans

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:06.140
 with skeletons

00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:07.100
 and reapers

00:23:07.100 --> 00:23:08.240
 kind of hanging out

00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.220
 eating dinner with them.

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:11.700
 It seems very morbid

00:23:11.700 --> 00:23:13.060
 but it was a way

00:23:13.060 --> 00:23:15.420
 for our Christian

00:23:15.420 --> 00:23:16.140
 forebearers

00:23:16.140 --> 00:23:17.759
 to remember

00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:18.380
 their death.

00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:19.840
 To be accustomed

00:23:19.840 --> 00:23:20.360
 to it.

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:22.720
 Death will come

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.400
 for us all.

00:23:25.019 --> 00:23:26.360
 The truly wise person

00:23:26.360 --> 00:23:27.319
 understands that

00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:28.100
 their days are numbered.

00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:29.440
 True wisdom

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:30.539
 provides a perspective

00:23:30.539 --> 00:23:31.860
 and guides us

00:23:31.860 --> 00:23:32.660
 but it knows

00:23:32.660 --> 00:23:33.680
 that such knowledge

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:34.660
 cannot save us

00:23:34.660 --> 00:23:35.920
 when death

00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:37.559
 comes for us.

00:23:38.660 --> 00:23:39.120
 And by the way

00:23:39.120 --> 00:23:39.640
 that doesn't mean

00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:40.400
 we should be okay

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:40.940
 with death.

00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:43.460
 It is an incredibly

00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:44.120
 unnatural

00:23:44.120 --> 00:23:45.299
 and frightening thing.

00:23:47.380 --> 00:23:47.920
 Death should never

00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:49.019
 be sanitized.

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:50.480
 It is ugly.

00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:51.240
 It is painful.

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:53.000
 It is full of sorrow.

00:23:53.220 --> 00:23:53.839
 Death was never

00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:54.660
 meant for us.

00:23:55.120 --> 00:23:55.799
 Next week

00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:56.360
 we'll look at

00:23:56.360 --> 00:23:57.059
 chapter 3

00:23:57.059 --> 00:23:57.640
 and we'll touch

00:23:57.640 --> 00:23:58.240
 on verse 11

00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:58.940
 which I think is

00:23:58.940 --> 00:24:00.200
 I mean

00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:00.759
 it's such an

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.759
 insightful verse

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:02.539
 but it talks about

00:24:02.539 --> 00:24:03.380
 how God has

00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:04.059
 written eternity

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:04.839
 into the hearts

00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:05.339
 of men

00:24:05.339 --> 00:24:07.920
 which is to say

00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.140
 that we were meant

00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:11.980
 to not touch death.

00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:12.700
 Well one of the things

00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:13.960
 it'll mean

00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:14.680
 is that we were not

00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:15.400
 to touch death

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:16.539
 and yet here we are

00:24:16.539 --> 00:24:18.420
 accustomed to it.

00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:21.600
 there's a universal

00:24:21.600 --> 00:24:23.019
 revulsion towards death

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:24.539
 and that only proves

00:24:24.539 --> 00:24:24.960
 that

00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.160
 Ecclesiastes 3

00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:27.720
 verse 11

00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:28.720
 that eternity

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:29.500
 is written on our hearts

00:24:29.500 --> 00:24:30.240
 it only proves

00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:30.800
 that it's true.

00:24:33.660 --> 00:24:34.660
 We live in a very

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:35.560
 bizarre time

00:24:35.560 --> 00:24:36.279
 where

00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:39.220
 there's like

00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:39.960
 two very

00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:40.640
 contradictory

00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:41.700
 kind of

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:43.000
 schools of thought.

00:24:43.180 --> 00:24:43.940
 One that

00:24:43.940 --> 00:24:44.820
 embraces

00:24:44.820 --> 00:24:46.039
 death

00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:47.460
 in a culture

00:24:47.460 --> 00:24:48.119
 of death

00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:48.700
 and another

00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:49.659
 that rejects

00:24:49.659 --> 00:24:50.220
 death with

00:24:50.220 --> 00:24:52.039
 an incredible

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:52.879
 amount of intensity.

00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:53.899
 So on one hand

00:24:53.899 --> 00:24:55.119
 you have

00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:56.420
 a medically

00:24:56.420 --> 00:24:56.980
 assisted

00:24:56.980 --> 00:24:58.440
 regime

00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:00.480
 medically

00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:01.319
 assisted suicide

00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:01.720
 regime

00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:02.319
 in our country

00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.159
 that continuously

00:25:04.159 --> 00:25:05.220
 broadens the

00:25:05.220 --> 00:25:05.920
 criteria for

00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:06.420
 accessing

00:25:06.420 --> 00:25:07.139
 euthanasia.

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:08.519
 The Post

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:09.159
 just this past

00:25:09.159 --> 00:25:09.399
 week

00:25:09.399 --> 00:25:10.139
 on the 11th

00:25:10.139 --> 00:25:11.079
 ran a story

00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:12.480
 to highlight

00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:12.859
 this

00:25:12.859 --> 00:25:13.759
 and gave

00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:14.339
 two examples.

00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:15.740
 One of a man

00:25:15.740 --> 00:25:16.779
 who became

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:17.740
 a widower

00:25:17.740 --> 00:25:19.240
 and his grief

00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:19.939
 was so much

00:25:19.939 --> 00:25:21.599
 that somehow

00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:22.339
 he qualified

00:25:22.339 --> 00:25:23.659
 for euthanasia

00:25:23.659 --> 00:25:24.379
 because of his grief

00:25:24.379 --> 00:25:24.919
 he was sad.

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:27.199
 Another woman

00:25:27.199 --> 00:25:28.839
 was obese

00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:30.740
 and refused

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:31.599
 any medical

00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:32.179
 intervention

00:25:32.179 --> 00:25:33.000
 until she was

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:33.339
 granted

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:35.039
 her suicide.

00:25:37.259 --> 00:25:37.519
 Friends

00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:38.419
 that's a culture

00:25:38.419 --> 00:25:38.859
 of death.

00:25:39.459 --> 00:25:39.539
 Okay.

00:25:40.159 --> 00:25:41.079
 On the flip side

00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:42.460
 we have

00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:43.919
 this

00:25:43.919 --> 00:25:45.000
 health

00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:45.859
 and wellness

00:25:45.859 --> 00:25:46.939
 fitness

00:25:46.939 --> 00:25:48.579
 culture

00:25:48.579 --> 00:25:49.220
 that continues

00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:49.879
 to grow

00:25:49.879 --> 00:25:51.579
 and by the way

00:25:51.579 --> 00:25:52.059
 if you're going to

00:25:52.059 --> 00:25:52.480
 choose one

00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:53.439
 obviously

00:25:53.439 --> 00:25:55.159
 eat healthy

00:25:55.159 --> 00:25:55.819
 eat your greens

00:25:55.819 --> 00:25:56.319
 everybody

00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:56.939
 alright

00:25:56.939 --> 00:25:57.939
 lift a weight

00:25:57.939 --> 00:25:58.579
 go for a walk

00:25:58.579 --> 00:25:58.899
 whatever

00:25:58.899 --> 00:26:01.699
 it's a good thing

00:26:01.699 --> 00:26:02.199
 they're not like

00:26:02.199 --> 00:26:02.960
 equally terrible

00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:03.319
 things.

00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:03.779
 Nevertheless

00:26:03.779 --> 00:26:05.819
 it's a rejection

00:26:05.819 --> 00:26:06.480
 of death

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:06.960
 with such an

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.319
 intensity

00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:07.859
 that

00:26:07.859 --> 00:26:09.159
 I've mentioned

00:26:09.159 --> 00:26:09.579
 him before

00:26:09.579 --> 00:26:10.259
 but this man

00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:11.240
 Brian Johnson

00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:11.819
 who is

00:26:11.819 --> 00:26:13.119
 a millionaire

00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:13.919
 futurist

00:26:13.919 --> 00:26:15.259
 he is convinced

00:26:15.259 --> 00:26:15.819
 he is convinced

00:26:15.819 --> 00:26:16.500
 in his lifetime

00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:18.240
 that he will

00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:18.979
 solve the problem

00:26:18.979 --> 00:26:19.399
 of death

00:26:19.399 --> 00:26:20.059
 with science.

00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:24.479
 A very bizarre

00:26:24.479 --> 00:26:25.259
 time we live in.

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:28.500
 But the reality

00:26:28.500 --> 00:26:29.319
 is and what this

00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:30.059
 text tells us

00:26:30.059 --> 00:26:30.639
 is that we are

00:26:30.639 --> 00:26:31.539
 not in control

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:32.079
 of death.

00:26:33.139 --> 00:26:33.579
 We cannot

00:26:33.579 --> 00:26:34.179
 choose

00:26:34.179 --> 00:26:35.240
 the day

00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:36.500
 we die

00:26:36.500 --> 00:26:37.640
 in a way

00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:38.579
 that is not

00:26:38.579 --> 00:26:39.960
 suicidal.

00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:42.539
 And this can be

00:26:42.539 --> 00:26:43.180
 very difficult

00:26:43.180 --> 00:26:43.640
 for us

00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:44.660
 because if you are

00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:46.000
 very health conscious

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:47.559
 God forbid

00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:48.519
 and I really mean

00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:49.240
 this God forbid

00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:50.359
 I mean

00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:51.400
 get your blood work

00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:52.000
 it comes back

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:52.720
 super clean

00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:53.579
 you're just

00:26:53.579 --> 00:26:54.319
 you're firing

00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:55.000
 on all cylinders

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:55.839
 and then you get

00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:56.420
 in a car accident

00:26:56.420 --> 00:26:57.200
 okay

00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.099
 and either

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:00.740
 you're

00:27:00.740 --> 00:27:02.039
 handicapped

00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:02.779
 for your life

00:27:02.779 --> 00:27:03.599
 or you're dead.

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:06.140
 and then

00:27:06.140 --> 00:27:07.640
 there's other people

00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:08.099
 who are

00:27:08.099 --> 00:27:09.220
 they're

00:27:09.220 --> 00:27:11.680
 they're smoking

00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:12.339
 a ton

00:27:12.339 --> 00:27:12.940
 they're living

00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:14.140
 like a very

00:27:14.140 --> 00:27:15.059
 unhealthy lifestyle

00:27:15.059 --> 00:27:16.039
 and somehow

00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:16.920
 they crack 80

00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:17.240
 like

00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:19.920
 where's the fairness

00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:20.539
 in that

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:20.900
 right?

00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:23.559
 We do not

00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:24.880
 control our health

00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:26.339
 or sorry

00:27:26.339 --> 00:27:26.880
 our death

00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:28.079
 we do not

00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:29.839
 and we can see

00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:30.660
 how the sage

00:27:30.660 --> 00:27:31.640
 if he is saying

00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:31.920
 listen

00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:33.200
 I've tried

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:33.799
 hedonism

00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:34.700
 I've tried pleasure

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:35.539
 now I'm trying

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:36.779
 clean living

00:27:36.779 --> 00:27:37.860
 mindfulness

00:27:37.860 --> 00:27:39.100
 wisdom

00:27:39.100 --> 00:27:39.900
 right living

00:27:39.900 --> 00:27:40.880
 everything that I need

00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:41.319
 to do

00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:42.559
 and still it's not working

00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:44.100
 my goodness

00:27:44.100 --> 00:27:45.299
 I am rattled

00:27:45.299 --> 00:27:47.019
 I am frustrated

00:27:47.019 --> 00:27:49.640
 you can feel the angst

00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:50.840
 maybe you feel the angst

00:27:50.840 --> 00:27:54.519
 so surely

00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:55.720
 we're going to move on

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.360
 to the next thing

00:27:56.360 --> 00:27:57.700
 if I can't

00:27:57.700 --> 00:27:59.039
 get ultimate meaning

00:27:59.039 --> 00:27:59.600
 from pleasure

00:27:59.600 --> 00:28:00.900
 if I can't get

00:28:00.900 --> 00:28:01.880
 ultimate meaning

00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:03.220
 from wise living

00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:04.000
 then maybe

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:04.900
 through my work

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:05.860
 and through my vocation

00:28:05.860 --> 00:28:06.759
 I can find something

00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:08.460
 I can create a legacy

00:28:08.460 --> 00:28:09.380
 that will last

00:28:09.380 --> 00:28:11.100
 that I can pass on

00:28:11.100 --> 00:28:12.600
 and it will continue on

00:28:12.600 --> 00:28:13.960
 until time ends

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:15.620
 read with me

00:28:15.620 --> 00:28:16.860
 verses 18 to 23

00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:19.079
 I hated

00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:20.039
 I hated all my toil

00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:21.000
 in which I toil

00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:21.679
 under the sun

00:28:21.679 --> 00:28:23.039
 seeing that I must

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.939
 leave it to the man

00:28:23.939 --> 00:28:24.959
 who will come after me

00:28:24.959 --> 00:28:26.579
 and who knows

00:28:26.579 --> 00:28:27.579
 whether he will be

00:28:27.579 --> 00:28:28.500
 wise or a fool

00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:29.659
 yet he will be

00:28:29.659 --> 00:28:30.919
 master of all

00:28:30.919 --> 00:28:31.959
 for which I toiled

00:28:31.959 --> 00:28:32.899
 and used my wisdom

00:28:32.899 --> 00:28:33.539
 under the sun

00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:34.639
 this also

00:28:34.639 --> 00:28:35.459
 is vanity

00:28:35.459 --> 00:28:37.240
 so I turned

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:37.659
 about

00:28:37.659 --> 00:28:38.699
 and gave my heart

00:28:38.699 --> 00:28:39.419
 up to despair

00:28:39.419 --> 00:28:40.859
 over all the toil

00:28:40.859 --> 00:28:41.539
 of my labors

00:28:41.539 --> 00:28:42.139
 under the sun

00:28:42.139 --> 00:28:43.459
 because sometimes

00:28:43.459 --> 00:28:44.119
 a person

00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:44.859
 who has toiled

00:28:44.859 --> 00:28:45.419
 with wisdom

00:28:45.420 --> 00:28:45.980
 and knowledge

00:28:45.980 --> 00:28:46.500
 and skill

00:28:46.500 --> 00:28:47.600
 must leave everything

00:28:47.600 --> 00:28:49.019
 to be enjoyed

00:28:49.019 --> 00:28:49.560
 by someone

00:28:49.560 --> 00:28:50.240
 who did not

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:51.120
 toil for it

00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:52.660
 this also is vanity

00:28:52.660 --> 00:28:54.180
 and a great evil

00:28:54.180 --> 00:28:55.840
 what is a man

00:28:55.840 --> 00:28:56.580
 from all the toil

00:28:56.580 --> 00:28:57.140
 and striving

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:57.640
 of heart

00:28:57.640 --> 00:28:59.000
 with which he toils

00:28:59.000 --> 00:28:59.759
 beneath the sun

00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:01.300
 for all his days

00:29:01.300 --> 00:29:02.100
 are full of sorrow

00:29:02.100 --> 00:29:02.720
 and his work

00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:03.779
 is a vexation

00:29:03.779 --> 00:29:05.640
 even in the night

00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:06.220
 his heart

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:06.980
 does not rest

00:29:06.980 --> 00:29:08.880
 this also is vanity

00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:12.120
 strike three

00:29:12.120 --> 00:29:12.500
 you're out

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:14.940
 he is not

00:29:14.940 --> 00:29:16.800
 finding much success

00:29:16.800 --> 00:29:17.740
 in his quest

00:29:17.740 --> 00:29:18.180
 for meaning

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:20.040
 one thing I love

00:29:20.040 --> 00:29:20.820
 about this section

00:29:20.820 --> 00:29:22.160
 is that the sage

00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:23.240
 is he's highlighting

00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:24.060
 the absurdity

00:29:24.060 --> 00:29:24.800
 of a total

00:29:24.800 --> 00:29:25.700
 work culture

00:29:25.700 --> 00:29:27.640
 a work culture

00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:28.480
 that doesn't help

00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:29.620
 our lives flourish

00:29:29.620 --> 00:29:30.720
 as much as

00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:31.880
 our lives

00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:32.520
 existing

00:29:32.520 --> 00:29:33.040
 to serve

00:29:33.040 --> 00:29:33.620
 our work

00:29:33.620 --> 00:29:35.500
 there's never

00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:36.060
 enough money

00:29:36.059 --> 00:29:36.639
 to earn

00:29:36.639 --> 00:29:37.759
 never enough

00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:38.259
 promotions

00:29:38.259 --> 00:29:39.039
 to chase

00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:40.440
 never enough

00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:41.480
 time to spend

00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:42.480
 on a project

00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:44.059
 constantly

00:29:44.059 --> 00:29:44.720
 thinking

00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:45.559
 about work

00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:46.379
 so that even

00:29:46.379 --> 00:29:47.339
 in our sleep

00:29:47.339 --> 00:29:48.519
 we are busy

00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:49.919
 we have busy minds

00:29:49.919 --> 00:29:54.200
 what should provide

00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:54.940
 us with life

00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:56.059
 robs our hearts

00:29:56.059 --> 00:29:56.659
 of peace

00:29:56.659 --> 00:29:57.460
 and again

00:29:57.460 --> 00:29:58.639
 I just want to

00:29:58.639 --> 00:29:59.139
 just say

00:29:59.139 --> 00:29:59.759
 really quickly

00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:00.960
 work is a beautiful

00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:01.619
 wonderful thing

00:30:01.619 --> 00:30:02.220
 it's valuable

00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:04.059
 the Bible's actually

00:30:04.059 --> 00:30:05.200
 full of other

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:06.039
 bits of

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:06.720
 wisdom that say

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:07.960
 do not be

00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:09.279
 slothful

00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:10.579
 I think later on

00:30:10.579 --> 00:30:11.299
 in Ecclesiastes

00:30:11.299 --> 00:30:11.639
 it's like

00:30:11.639 --> 00:30:12.539
 be like the ant

00:30:12.539 --> 00:30:13.259
 work hard

00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:14.819
 be studious

00:30:14.819 --> 00:30:17.159
 be honest

00:30:17.159 --> 00:30:18.299
 hard working

00:30:18.299 --> 00:30:18.879
 integral

00:30:18.879 --> 00:30:19.700
 work hard

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:21.740
 but again

00:30:21.740 --> 00:30:22.480
 if we're thinking

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:23.920
 about the sage

00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:24.879
 who's on a quest

00:30:24.879 --> 00:30:25.759
 to find meaning

00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:27.480
 ultimate purpose

00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:29.680
 it is not found

00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:30.700
 in his work

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:35.400
 he is looking

00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:35.779
 for work

00:30:35.779 --> 00:30:36.200
 to become

00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:37.220
 his sense

00:30:37.220 --> 00:30:37.819
 of identity

00:30:37.819 --> 00:30:39.140
 but it will

00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:39.799
 demand more

00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:40.180
 and more

00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:40.660
 from him

00:30:40.660 --> 00:30:42.100
 and from us

00:30:42.100 --> 00:30:44.340
 and the things

00:30:44.340 --> 00:30:44.900
 and people

00:30:44.900 --> 00:30:46.299
 we really cherish

00:30:46.299 --> 00:30:47.080
 will suffer

00:30:47.080 --> 00:30:49.740
 there's a

00:30:49.740 --> 00:30:50.500
 lovely couple

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:51.160
 downtown

00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:52.580
 at the downtown

00:30:52.580 --> 00:30:53.059
 Messiah

00:30:53.059 --> 00:30:53.660
 and

00:30:53.660 --> 00:30:55.500
 he was

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:56.900
 retired now

00:30:56.900 --> 00:30:57.380
 but he was a

00:30:57.380 --> 00:30:58.080
 major in the

00:30:58.080 --> 00:30:58.500
 military

00:30:58.500 --> 00:31:00.079
 but he had a lot

00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:00.480
 of promise

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:01.140
 his father

00:31:01.140 --> 00:31:01.619
 was

00:31:01.619 --> 00:31:03.539
 a general

00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:05.200
 and he made

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:05.740
 the decision

00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:06.420
 when his kids

00:31:06.420 --> 00:31:06.819
 were in high

00:31:06.819 --> 00:31:07.099
 school

00:31:07.099 --> 00:31:07.500
 to

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:12.039
 basically step

00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:12.480
 away from the

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:12.839
 military

00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:13.619
 to go into the

00:31:13.619 --> 00:31:13.880
 private

00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:15.440
 service

00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:15.960
 and then his

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:16.539
 kids went to

00:31:16.539 --> 00:31:16.900
 university

00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:17.480
 and graduated

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:17.759
 and then he

00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:18.059
 went back

00:31:18.059 --> 00:31:18.480
 to the military

00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:19.180
 and then he

00:31:19.180 --> 00:31:19.619
 just stayed

00:31:19.619 --> 00:31:20.240
 at his rank

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:20.660
 of major

00:31:20.660 --> 00:31:21.160
 and he did

00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:22.180
 not continue

00:31:22.180 --> 00:31:22.519
 on

00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:24.900
 and he

00:31:24.900 --> 00:31:25.400
 talked a bit

00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:25.920
 about this

00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:26.960
 about how

00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:27.379
 I don't know

00:31:27.379 --> 00:31:27.680
 if it's the

00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:28.160
 case anymore

00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:28.700
 but back

00:31:28.700 --> 00:31:29.019
 then

00:31:29.019 --> 00:31:30.039
 if you

00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:30.400
 wanted to

00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:30.839
 become a

00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:31.079
 general

00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:32.559
 the saying

00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:32.920
 was

00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:33.460
 it'll cost

00:31:33.460 --> 00:31:33.700
 you a

00:31:33.700 --> 00:31:34.000
 marriage

00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:36.200
 if you

00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:36.400
 want to be

00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:36.759
 a general

00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:37.259
 it'll cost

00:31:37.259 --> 00:31:37.480
 you a

00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:37.759
 marriage

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:40.200
 I'm sure

00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:40.599
 that's not

00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:41.079
 the case

00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:42.039
 all the way

00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:43.079
 through every

00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:43.700
 general

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:44.660
 is divorced

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:45.779
 but that

00:31:45.779 --> 00:31:46.920
 phrase always

00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:47.539
 stuck with

00:31:47.539 --> 00:31:47.799
 me

00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:49.500
 because that

00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:50.099
 is this

00:31:50.099 --> 00:31:52.220
 total work

00:31:52.220 --> 00:31:52.659
 culture

00:31:52.659 --> 00:31:53.500
 where everything

00:31:53.500 --> 00:31:54.240
 everything is

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:54.759
 sacrificed

00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:55.259
 because

00:31:55.259 --> 00:31:56.940
 of the

00:31:56.940 --> 00:31:57.419
 meaning

00:31:57.419 --> 00:31:57.819
 that is

00:31:57.819 --> 00:31:58.519
 associated

00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:00.940
 upon me

00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:01.659
 that has to

00:32:01.659 --> 00:32:01.980
 do with our

00:32:01.980 --> 00:32:02.180
 work

00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:02.480
 that I'm

00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:02.879
 finding my

00:32:02.879 --> 00:32:03.299
 identity

00:32:03.299 --> 00:32:04.419
 in our

00:32:04.419 --> 00:32:04.759
 work

00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:07.460
 and the

00:32:07.460 --> 00:32:07.940
 sage is

00:32:07.940 --> 00:32:08.240
 saying

00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:08.599
 and we

00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:09.180
 all know

00:32:09.180 --> 00:32:09.960
 yet we

00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:10.539
 fall into

00:32:10.539 --> 00:32:10.960
 this

00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:11.639
 all too

00:32:11.639 --> 00:32:12.000
 easily

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:13.079
 that we

00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:13.799
 cannot make

00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:14.259
 work a

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:15.079
 totalizing

00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:15.659
 endeavor

00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:18.560
 so we've

00:32:18.560 --> 00:32:18.820
 looked at

00:32:18.820 --> 00:32:19.160
 pleasure

00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:19.720
 and we've

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:20.000
 looked at

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:20.340
 wisdom

00:32:20.340 --> 00:32:21.300
 and we

00:32:21.300 --> 00:32:21.720
 looked at

00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:22.040
 work

00:32:22.040 --> 00:32:22.300
 and we

00:32:22.300 --> 00:32:22.600
 found them

00:32:22.600 --> 00:32:23.140
 all wanting

00:32:23.140 --> 00:32:23.720
 now what

00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:25.019
 is there

00:32:25.019 --> 00:32:25.220
 another

00:32:25.220 --> 00:32:25.759
 category

00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:26.620
 there's no

00:32:26.620 --> 00:32:27.180
 more categories

00:32:27.180 --> 00:32:27.600
 at least in

00:32:27.600 --> 00:32:28.100
 this section

00:32:28.100 --> 00:32:29.420
 but now

00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:29.740
 what

00:32:29.740 --> 00:32:30.279
 where's the

00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:30.560
 hope

00:32:30.560 --> 00:32:33.680
 I hope

00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:33.920
 that you

00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:34.300
 felt the

00:32:34.300 --> 00:32:34.740
 weight of

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:35.540
 this quest

00:32:35.540 --> 00:32:35.860
 I mean

00:32:35.860 --> 00:32:36.320
 it's been

00:32:36.320 --> 00:32:36.860
 just a

00:32:36.860 --> 00:32:38.080
 20

00:32:38.080 --> 00:32:39.220
 25

00:32:39.220 --> 00:32:40.120
 30 minutes

00:32:40.120 --> 00:32:40.440
 whatever

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:41.540
 I hope

00:32:41.540 --> 00:32:41.960
 you have

00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:42.200
 felt

00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:43.120
 disillusioned

00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:43.400
 to some

00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:43.660
 degree

00:32:43.660 --> 00:32:44.400
 or another

00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:45.780
 but in

00:32:45.780 --> 00:32:46.060
 a good

00:32:46.060 --> 00:32:46.340
 way

00:32:46.340 --> 00:32:47.980
 if our

00:32:47.980 --> 00:32:48.720
 reality

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:50.040
 of pleasure

00:32:50.040 --> 00:32:50.620
 and wise

00:32:50.620 --> 00:32:51.120
 living

00:32:51.120 --> 00:32:51.759
 and work

00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:52.280
 is built

00:32:52.280 --> 00:32:52.920
 upon a

00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:53.680
 false promise

00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:55.440
 of ultimate

00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:55.960
 meaning

00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:57.420
 then to be

00:32:57.420 --> 00:32:58.660
 disillusioned

00:32:58.660 --> 00:32:58.960
 with it

00:32:58.960 --> 00:32:59.720
 is to make

00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:00.880
 steps towards

00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:01.440
 reality

00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:03.960
 and to make

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:04.880
 steps towards

00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:05.420
 freedom

00:33:05.420 --> 00:33:07.160
 and joy

00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:08.820
 and real

00:33:08.820 --> 00:33:09.320
 purpose

00:33:09.320 --> 00:33:10.140
 and real

00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:10.900
 meaning

00:33:10.900 --> 00:33:13.540
 what could be

00:33:13.540 --> 00:33:14.080
 better than

00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:14.379
 knowing

00:33:14.379 --> 00:33:14.379


00:33:14.379 --> 00:33:14.899
 that all

00:33:14.899 --> 00:33:15.079
 the

00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:15.559
 pleasure

00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:16.379
 moral

00:33:16.379 --> 00:33:16.819
 living

00:33:16.819 --> 00:33:17.339
 and total

00:33:17.339 --> 00:33:17.599
 work

00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:17.899
 culture

00:33:17.899 --> 00:33:18.480
 we find

00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:19.279
 ourselves

00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:20.179
 in

00:33:20.179 --> 00:33:20.759
 is utter

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:21.220
 vanity

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:21.720
 if it

00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:22.359
 does not

00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:23.419
 give us

00:33:23.419 --> 00:33:23.740
 what we

00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:24.079
 think it

00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:24.399
 will give

00:33:24.399 --> 00:33:24.819
 us

00:33:24.819 --> 00:33:26.419
 how blessed

00:33:26.419 --> 00:33:26.859
 are we

00:33:26.859 --> 00:33:28.079
 to come

00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:28.419
 to this

00:33:28.419 --> 00:33:29.159
 realization

00:33:29.159 --> 00:33:30.559
 hopefully

00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:31.099
 before it's

00:33:31.099 --> 00:33:31.460
 too late

00:33:31.460 --> 00:33:32.419
 this is a

00:33:32.419 --> 00:33:32.740
 blessing

00:33:32.740 --> 00:33:33.699
 okay

00:33:33.699 --> 00:33:34.919
 being disillusioned

00:33:34.919 --> 00:33:35.299
 right now

00:33:35.299 --> 00:33:36.199
 is a gift

00:33:36.199 --> 00:33:36.859
 from God

00:33:36.859 --> 00:33:38.480
 we cannot

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:38.980
 hold on

00:33:38.980 --> 00:33:39.439
 to pleasure

00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:40.820
 we can't

00:33:40.820 --> 00:33:41.259
 rest on

00:33:41.259 --> 00:33:41.820
 our laurels

00:33:41.820 --> 00:33:42.279
 we can't

00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:42.740
 keep even

00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:43.360
 a single

00:33:43.360 --> 00:33:43.820
 coin

00:33:43.820 --> 00:33:44.279
 forever

00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:45.860
 it is a

00:33:45.860 --> 00:33:46.600
 blessing to

00:33:46.600 --> 00:33:47.160
 know this

00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:49.880
 ultimately

00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:50.420
 pleasure

00:33:50.420 --> 00:33:51.039
 and wisdom

00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:52.019
 and good

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:52.440
 work

00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:52.880
 that we

00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:53.180
 do

00:33:53.180 --> 00:33:53.779
 are all

00:33:53.779 --> 00:33:54.000
 gifts

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:54.600
 from God

00:33:54.600 --> 00:33:56.240
 but the

00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:56.660
 pleasure

00:33:56.660 --> 00:33:57.360
 sorry

00:33:57.360 --> 00:33:57.680
 but the

00:33:57.680 --> 00:33:58.120
 problem

00:33:58.120 --> 00:33:58.640
 arises

00:33:58.640 --> 00:33:59.180
 when these

00:33:59.180 --> 00:33:59.759
 things are

00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:00.160
 emphasized

00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:00.799
 without any

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:01.580
 mention of

00:34:01.580 --> 00:34:01.880
 God

00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:02.519
 without any

00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:05.539
 consultation

00:34:05.539 --> 00:34:06.299
 with God

00:34:06.299 --> 00:34:06.799
 looking to

00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:07.039
 him

00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:07.819
 asking him

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:08.559
 for strength

00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:09.820
 or salvation

00:34:09.820 --> 00:34:11.420
 God

00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:11.940
 in this

00:34:11.940 --> 00:34:12.320
 section

00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:13.320
 is mentioned

00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:14.480
 in verse 13

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:16.320
 and then

00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:17.079
 is completely

00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:17.639
 absent

00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:18.239
 until

00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:19.420
 this last

00:34:19.420 --> 00:34:19.900
 portion

00:34:19.900 --> 00:34:20.579
 verses 24

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:21.079
 to 26

00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:21.400
 he is

00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:22.519
 nowhere to

00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:22.940
 be found

00:34:22.940 --> 00:34:23.440
 okay

00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:24.599
 God is

00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:25.079
 absent

00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:25.659
 from

00:34:25.659 --> 00:34:26.259
 the

00:34:26.259 --> 00:34:26.659
 sages

00:34:26.659 --> 00:34:27.259
 quest

00:34:27.259 --> 00:34:30.960
 this

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:31.259
 whole

00:34:31.259 --> 00:34:31.559
 endeavor

00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:31.840
 is

00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:32.559
 unbelievably

00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:33.320
 self-centered

00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:35.600
 and if

00:34:35.600 --> 00:34:36.160
 we're engaged

00:34:36.160 --> 00:34:36.400
 in it

00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:36.760
 it's

00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:37.280
 unbelievably

00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:37.920
 self-centered

00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:38.340
 for us

00:34:38.340 --> 00:34:38.760
 as well

00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:41.160
 see the

00:34:41.160 --> 00:34:41.400
 sage

00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:42.220
 shows us

00:34:42.220 --> 00:34:42.580
 that although

00:34:42.580 --> 00:34:42.920
 we are

00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:43.380
 people who

00:34:43.380 --> 00:34:43.900
 live under

00:34:43.900 --> 00:34:44.380
 the sun

00:34:44.380 --> 00:34:45.720
 okay

00:34:45.720 --> 00:34:46.380
 in this

00:34:46.380 --> 00:34:46.980
 mortal

00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:47.460
 life

00:34:47.460 --> 00:34:49.380
 we also

00:34:49.380 --> 00:34:49.780
 have

00:34:49.780 --> 00:34:50.260
 eternity

00:34:50.260 --> 00:34:50.780
 written on

00:34:50.780 --> 00:34:51.240
 our hearts

00:34:51.240 --> 00:34:51.880
 and that

00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:52.220
 means

00:34:52.220 --> 00:34:52.920
 eternal

00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:53.300
 meaning

00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:53.960
 and purpose

00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:55.019
 it's

00:34:55.019 --> 00:34:55.460
 what we

00:34:55.460 --> 00:34:55.960
 deeply

00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:56.580
 crave

00:34:56.580 --> 00:34:57.580
 and it

00:34:57.580 --> 00:34:58.019
 cannot be

00:34:58.019 --> 00:34:58.500
 found

00:34:58.500 --> 00:34:59.740
 under

00:34:59.740 --> 00:35:00.160
 the sun

00:35:00.160 --> 00:35:03.140
 only

00:35:03.139 --> 00:35:03.539
 then

00:35:03.539 --> 00:35:04.019
 when we

00:35:04.019 --> 00:35:04.259
 come to

00:35:04.259 --> 00:35:04.400
 this

00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:04.779
 realization

00:35:04.779 --> 00:35:05.319
 can we

00:35:05.319 --> 00:35:05.739
 truly

00:35:05.739 --> 00:35:06.219
 turn to

00:35:06.219 --> 00:35:06.400
 Lord

00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:06.619
 as

00:35:06.619 --> 00:35:07.319
 people

00:35:07.319 --> 00:35:07.500
 that

00:35:07.500 --> 00:35:07.619
 are

00:35:07.619 --> 00:35:08.199
 desperate

00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:10.460
 for

00:35:10.460 --> 00:35:10.779
 only

00:35:10.779 --> 00:35:10.960
 what

00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:11.159
 he

00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:11.379
 can

00:35:11.379 --> 00:35:11.619
 give

00:35:11.619 --> 00:35:11.759
 and

00:35:11.759 --> 00:35:11.879
 what

00:35:11.879 --> 00:35:12.039
 we

00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:12.480
 desperately

00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:12.940
 need

00:35:12.940 --> 00:35:17.279
 imagine a

00:35:17.279 --> 00:35:17.839
 life that

00:35:17.839 --> 00:35:18.480
 is growing

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:18.920
 towards

00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:19.159
 I don't

00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:19.339
 want to

00:35:19.339 --> 00:35:19.639
 say is

00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:20.000
 completely

00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:20.359
 free

00:35:20.359 --> 00:35:20.579
 of

00:35:20.579 --> 00:35:20.940
 because

00:35:20.940 --> 00:35:21.779
 we'll

00:35:21.779 --> 00:35:22.059
 still

00:35:22.059 --> 00:35:22.460
 falter

00:35:22.460 --> 00:35:22.819
 but is

00:35:22.819 --> 00:35:23.119
 growing

00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:23.679
 towards

00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:24.639
 freedom

00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:25.219
 from

00:35:25.219 --> 00:35:25.879
 vain

00:35:25.879 --> 00:35:26.480
 attempts

00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:26.739
 at

00:35:26.739 --> 00:35:27.159
 controlling

00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:27.579
 every

00:35:27.579 --> 00:35:27.980
 aspect

00:35:27.980 --> 00:35:28.379
 of our

00:35:28.379 --> 00:35:28.719
 life

00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:29.900
 trying to

00:35:29.900 --> 00:35:30.519
 curate

00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:31.059
 every

00:35:31.059 --> 00:35:32.259
 move

00:35:32.260 --> 00:35:32.960
 every

00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:34.900
 promotion

00:35:34.900 --> 00:35:37.060
 every

00:35:37.060 --> 00:35:37.940
 strategic

00:35:37.940 --> 00:35:39.100
 financial

00:35:39.100 --> 00:35:39.880
 decision

00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:41.620
 from

00:35:41.620 --> 00:35:42.420
 the way

00:35:42.420 --> 00:35:42.760
 we're

00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:43.060
 raising

00:35:43.060 --> 00:35:43.280
 our

00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:43.640
 kids

00:35:43.640 --> 00:35:44.360
 who

00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:44.560
 they're

00:35:44.560 --> 00:35:44.880
 playing

00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:45.260
 with

00:35:45.260 --> 00:35:46.560
 the cars

00:35:46.560 --> 00:35:47.040
 we drive

00:35:47.040 --> 00:35:47.240
 the

00:35:47.240 --> 00:35:47.600
 neighborhoods

00:35:47.600 --> 00:35:48.100
 we live

00:35:48.100 --> 00:35:48.380
 in

00:35:48.380 --> 00:35:49.140
 that can

00:35:49.140 --> 00:35:49.800
 feel

00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:50.620
 like a

00:35:50.620 --> 00:35:50.980
 weight

00:35:50.980 --> 00:35:51.500
 that is

00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:51.900
 growing

00:35:51.900 --> 00:35:52.420
 and growing

00:35:52.420 --> 00:35:52.820
 and growing

00:35:52.820 --> 00:35:53.300
 upon our

00:35:53.300 --> 00:35:53.600
 shoulders

00:35:53.600 --> 00:35:54.060
 imagine

00:35:54.060 --> 00:35:54.900
 having

00:35:54.900 --> 00:35:55.800
 an identity

00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:56.280
 that does

00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:57.100
 not need

00:35:57.100 --> 00:35:57.500
 to be

00:35:57.500 --> 00:35:58.200
 reinvented

00:35:58.200 --> 00:35:58.380
 every

00:35:58.380 --> 00:35:58.660
 few

00:35:58.660 --> 00:35:59.060
 years

00:35:59.060 --> 00:36:00.240
 imagine

00:36:00.240 --> 00:36:00.740
 the freedom

00:36:00.740 --> 00:36:01.120
 of that

00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:01.359
 again

00:36:01.359 --> 00:36:01.539
 we're

00:36:01.539 --> 00:36:01.799
 growing

00:36:01.799 --> 00:36:02.039
 into

00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:02.279
 this

00:36:02.279 --> 00:36:02.659
 but

00:36:02.659 --> 00:36:03.079
 imagine

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:03.299
 if

00:36:03.299 --> 00:36:03.639
 that's

00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:03.779
 the

00:36:03.779 --> 00:36:04.179
 trajectory

00:36:04.179 --> 00:36:04.639
 of your

00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:05.019
 life

00:36:05.019 --> 00:36:07.239
 imagine

00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:07.599
 having

00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:08.059
 meaning

00:36:08.059 --> 00:36:09.119
 that is

00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:09.480
 rooted

00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:10.059
 in the

00:36:10.059 --> 00:36:10.420
 eternal

00:36:10.420 --> 00:36:10.819
 God

00:36:10.819 --> 00:36:11.199
 who

00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:11.940
 scripture

00:36:11.940 --> 00:36:12.759
 constantly

00:36:12.759 --> 00:36:13.339
 says

00:36:13.339 --> 00:36:13.859
 is

00:36:13.859 --> 00:36:14.920
 unchanging

00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:16.099
 unchanging

00:36:16.099 --> 00:36:18.759
 this is

00:36:18.759 --> 00:36:19.059
 what the

00:36:19.059 --> 00:36:19.819
 sage is

00:36:19.819 --> 00:36:20.639
 beginning to

00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:21.000
 realize

00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:21.539
 in this

00:36:21.539 --> 00:36:21.799
 last

00:36:21.799 --> 00:36:22.059
 section

00:36:22.059 --> 00:36:22.219
 I'll

00:36:22.219 --> 00:36:22.599
 read it

00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:23.679
 read it

00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:23.960
 with me

00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:24.219
 starting

00:36:24.219 --> 00:36:24.460
 in verse

00:36:24.460 --> 00:36:24.880
 24

00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:26.180
 there is

00:36:26.180 --> 00:36:26.380
 nothing

00:36:26.380 --> 00:36:26.660
 better

00:36:26.660 --> 00:36:27.019
 for a

00:36:27.019 --> 00:36:27.360
 person

00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:28.240
 than

00:36:28.240 --> 00:36:28.420
 that

00:36:28.420 --> 00:36:28.579
 he

00:36:28.579 --> 00:36:28.840
 should

00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:29.180
 eat

00:36:29.180 --> 00:36:29.539
 and

00:36:29.539 --> 00:36:29.780
 drink

00:36:29.780 --> 00:36:30.019
 and

00:36:30.019 --> 00:36:30.300
 find

00:36:30.300 --> 00:36:30.720
 enjoyment

00:36:30.720 --> 00:36:30.980
 in

00:36:30.980 --> 00:36:31.160
 his

00:36:31.160 --> 00:36:31.460
 toil

00:36:31.460 --> 00:36:32.640
 this

00:36:32.640 --> 00:36:33.019
 also

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:33.260
 I

00:36:33.260 --> 00:36:33.440
 saw

00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:33.660
 is

00:36:33.660 --> 00:36:33.860
 from

00:36:33.860 --> 00:36:34.059
 the

00:36:34.059 --> 00:36:34.360
 hand

00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:34.519
 of

00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:34.740
 God

00:36:34.740 --> 00:36:34.980
 there

00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:35.400
 it is

00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:36.380
 it

00:36:36.380 --> 00:36:36.780
 becomes

00:36:36.780 --> 00:36:37.039
 a

00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:37.400
 gift

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:38.519
 and not

00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:38.860
 an

00:36:38.860 --> 00:36:39.119
 ultimate

00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:39.460
 end

00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:39.579
 in

00:36:39.579 --> 00:36:39.900
 itself

00:36:39.900 --> 00:36:40.119
 for

00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:40.440
 apart

00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:40.700
 from

00:36:40.700 --> 00:36:41.019
 him

00:36:41.019 --> 00:36:42.000
 who

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:42.220
 can

00:36:42.220 --> 00:36:42.559
 eat

00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:42.980
 or

00:36:42.980 --> 00:36:43.180
 who

00:36:43.180 --> 00:36:43.380
 can

00:36:43.380 --> 00:36:43.619
 have

00:36:43.619 --> 00:36:44.039
 enjoyment

00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:45.059
 for

00:36:45.059 --> 00:36:45.200
 to

00:36:45.200 --> 00:36:45.320
 the

00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:45.500
 one

00:36:45.500 --> 00:36:45.680
 who

00:36:45.680 --> 00:36:46.340
 pleases

00:36:46.340 --> 00:36:46.599
 him

00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:46.880
 God

00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:47.059
 has

00:36:47.059 --> 00:36:47.260
 given

00:36:47.260 --> 00:36:47.640
 wisdom

00:36:47.640 --> 00:36:48.260
 and

00:36:48.260 --> 00:36:48.680
 knowledge

00:36:48.680 --> 00:36:49.400
 and

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:50.059
 joy

00:36:50.059 --> 00:36:51.599
 but

00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:51.740
 to

00:36:51.740 --> 00:36:51.900
 the

00:36:51.900 --> 00:36:52.119
 sinner

00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:52.300
 he

00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:52.460
 has

00:36:52.460 --> 00:36:52.660
 given

00:36:52.660 --> 00:36:52.880
 the

00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:53.220
 business

00:36:53.220 --> 00:36:53.460
 of

00:36:53.460 --> 00:36:53.820
 gathering

00:36:53.820 --> 00:36:54.019
 and

00:36:54.019 --> 00:36:54.320
 collecting

00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:54.620
 only

00:36:54.620 --> 00:36:54.840
 to

00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:55.000
 give

00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:55.180
 it

00:36:55.180 --> 00:36:56.160
 to

00:36:56.160 --> 00:36:56.460
 one

00:36:56.460 --> 00:36:56.700
 who

00:36:56.700 --> 00:36:57.080
 pleases

00:36:57.080 --> 00:36:57.500
 God

00:36:57.500 --> 00:36:57.820
 this

00:36:57.820 --> 00:36:58.240
 also

00:36:58.240 --> 00:36:58.440
 is

00:36:58.440 --> 00:36:58.800
 vanity

00:36:58.800 --> 00:36:59.640
 and

00:36:59.640 --> 00:36:59.800
 a

00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:00.220
 striving

00:37:00.220 --> 00:37:00.740
 after

00:37:00.740 --> 00:37:01.120
 the

00:37:01.120 --> 00:37:01.400
 wind

00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:06.240
 when

00:37:06.240 --> 00:37:06.400
 we

00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:06.720
 see

00:37:06.720 --> 00:37:07.080
 life

00:37:07.080 --> 00:37:07.360
 as a

00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:07.480
 gift

00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:07.660
 from

00:37:07.660 --> 00:37:08.019
 God

00:37:08.019 --> 00:37:09.740
 we

00:37:09.740 --> 00:37:10.060
 begin

00:37:10.060 --> 00:37:10.360
 to

00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:10.860
 become

00:37:10.860 --> 00:37:11.360
 incredibly

00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:11.740
 generous

00:37:11.740 --> 00:37:12.180
 people

00:37:12.180 --> 00:37:13.220
 again

00:37:13.220 --> 00:37:13.460
 not

00:37:13.460 --> 00:37:13.960
 overnight

00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:14.280
 but

00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:14.480
 we

00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:14.920
 become

00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:15.480
 incredibly

00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:16.120
 generous

00:37:16.120 --> 00:37:16.580
 people

00:37:16.580 --> 00:37:18.400
 our

00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:18.840
 suffering

00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:19.320
 is no

00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:19.660
 longer

00:37:19.660 --> 00:37:19.920
 an

00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:20.400
 existential

00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:21.100
 threat

00:37:21.100 --> 00:37:21.900
 to

00:37:21.900 --> 00:37:22.039
 our

00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:22.260
 very

00:37:22.260 --> 00:37:22.780
 identity

00:37:22.780 --> 00:37:24.180
 so

00:37:24.180 --> 00:37:24.340
 that

00:37:24.340 --> 00:37:24.519
 we

00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:24.840
 can

00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:26.480
 endure

00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:28.360
 knowing

00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:28.660
 our

00:37:28.660 --> 00:37:29.119
 frailty

00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:29.680
 and yet

00:37:29.680 --> 00:37:30.099
 through it

00:37:30.099 --> 00:37:30.300
 all

00:37:30.300 --> 00:37:30.539
 have

00:37:30.539 --> 00:37:31.000
 joy

00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:32.340
 and

00:37:32.340 --> 00:37:32.480
 when

00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:32.820
 death

00:37:32.820 --> 00:37:33.160
 comes

00:37:33.160 --> 00:37:33.500
 even

00:37:33.500 --> 00:37:33.780
 though

00:37:33.780 --> 00:37:34.180
 we

00:37:34.180 --> 00:37:34.760
 will

00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:35.880
 have

00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:36.240
 fear

00:37:36.240 --> 00:37:36.519
 and

00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:36.639
 it

00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:36.760
 is

00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:36.940
 still

00:37:36.940 --> 00:37:37.400
 scary

00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:38.500
 and

00:37:38.500 --> 00:37:38.639
 it

00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:38.960
 is

00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:39.500
 scary

00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:42.340
 the

00:37:42.340 --> 00:37:42.599
 fear

00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:42.840
 will

00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:43.139
 not

00:37:43.139 --> 00:37:43.539
 crush

00:37:43.539 --> 00:37:44.079
 us

00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:47.000
 and

00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:47.119
 the

00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:47.500
 answer

00:37:47.500 --> 00:37:49.980
 is

00:37:49.980 --> 00:37:50.260
 because

00:37:50.260 --> 00:37:51.160
 of what

00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:51.480
 Christ

00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:51.799
 has done

00:37:51.799 --> 00:37:52.019
 on the

00:37:52.019 --> 00:37:52.359
 cross

00:37:52.359 --> 00:37:52.759
 why

00:37:52.759 --> 00:37:54.099
 because

00:37:54.099 --> 00:37:54.399
 in his

00:37:54.399 --> 00:37:54.619
 death

00:37:54.619 --> 00:37:54.759
 and

00:37:54.759 --> 00:37:55.179
 resurrection

00:37:55.179 --> 00:37:55.859
 Christ

00:37:55.859 --> 00:37:56.259
 defeats

00:37:56.259 --> 00:37:56.619
 death

00:37:56.619 --> 00:37:57.259
 and he

00:37:57.259 --> 00:37:57.559
 makes a

00:37:57.559 --> 00:37:57.920
 mockery

00:37:57.920 --> 00:37:58.139
 out of

00:37:58.139 --> 00:37:58.339
 it

00:37:58.339 --> 00:37:59.299
 he

00:37:59.299 --> 00:37:59.819
 suffers

00:37:59.819 --> 00:38:01.039
 but then

00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:01.819
 endures

00:38:01.819 --> 00:38:02.579
 and is

00:38:02.579 --> 00:38:03.019
 victorious

00:38:03.019 --> 00:38:04.279
 in his

00:38:04.279 --> 00:38:04.839
 ascension

00:38:04.839 --> 00:38:05.779
 he goes

00:38:05.779 --> 00:38:06.299
 to prepare

00:38:06.299 --> 00:38:06.779
 a place

00:38:06.779 --> 00:38:07.219
 for us

00:38:07.219 --> 00:38:08.039
 so that

00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:08.359
 we will

00:38:08.359 --> 00:38:09.079
 enjoy

00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:09.699
 pleasures

00:38:09.699 --> 00:38:10.460
 forevermore

00:38:10.460 --> 00:38:13.699
 because

00:38:13.699 --> 00:38:14.159
 his work

00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:14.699
 is completed

00:38:14.699 --> 00:38:15.199
 upon the

00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:15.579
 cross

00:38:15.579 --> 00:38:16.859
 we need

00:38:16.859 --> 00:38:17.599
 not work

00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:18.279
 for a

00:38:18.279 --> 00:38:18.779
 salvation

00:38:18.779 --> 00:38:19.179
 that we

00:38:19.179 --> 00:38:19.559
 could never

00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:19.859
 win

00:38:19.860 --> 00:38:20.220
 instead

00:38:20.220 --> 00:38:20.820
 we

00:38:20.820 --> 00:38:21.260
 receive

00:38:21.260 --> 00:38:21.400
 it

00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:21.559
 by

00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:21.920
 faith

00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:22.140
 it's

00:38:22.140 --> 00:38:22.280
 a

00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:22.519
 gift

00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:23.260
 to

00:38:23.260 --> 00:38:23.660
 us

00:38:23.660 --> 00:38:24.900
 so

00:38:24.900 --> 00:38:25.039
 we

00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:25.180
 can

00:38:25.180 --> 00:38:25.579
 enjoy

00:38:25.579 --> 00:38:26.160
 Christ's

00:38:26.160 --> 00:38:26.519
 labors

00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:27.960
 and

00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:28.220
 therefore

00:38:28.220 --> 00:38:28.480
 our

00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:28.880
 work

00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:29.760
 is

00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:30.300
 freed

00:38:30.300 --> 00:38:30.760
 up

00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:31.700
 so

00:38:31.700 --> 00:38:31.840
 that

00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:31.940
 it

00:38:31.940 --> 00:38:32.039
 is

00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:32.200
 not

00:38:32.200 --> 00:38:32.680
 attached

00:38:32.680 --> 00:38:32.860
 to

00:38:32.860 --> 00:38:33.019
 our

00:38:33.019 --> 00:38:33.400
 identity

00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:33.900
 and

00:38:33.900 --> 00:38:34.220
 rather

00:38:34.220 --> 00:38:34.860
 it

00:38:34.860 --> 00:38:35.180
 becomes

00:38:35.180 --> 00:38:35.680
 redeemed

00:38:35.680 --> 00:38:37.340
 and

00:38:37.340 --> 00:38:37.559
 we

00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:37.860
 can

00:38:37.860 --> 00:38:37.980
 get

00:38:37.980 --> 00:38:38.440
 promotion

00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:39.380
 and

00:38:39.380 --> 00:38:39.480
 we

00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:39.620
 can

00:38:39.620 --> 00:38:39.980
 celebrate

00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:40.380
 that

00:38:40.380 --> 00:38:41.500
 and

00:38:41.500 --> 00:38:41.579
 we

00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:41.880
 cannot

00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:42.039
 get

00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:42.140
 a

00:38:42.140 --> 00:38:42.460
 promotion

00:38:42.460 --> 00:38:42.700
 and

00:38:42.700 --> 00:38:42.800
 it

00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:42.960
 won't

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:43.320
 crush

00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:43.680
 us

00:38:43.680 --> 00:38:45.099
 we

00:38:45.099 --> 00:38:45.240
 can

00:38:45.240 --> 00:38:45.360
 learn

00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:45.539
 to

00:38:45.539 --> 00:38:46.019
 work

00:38:46.019 --> 00:38:46.680
 and

00:38:46.680 --> 00:38:47.099
 give

00:38:47.099 --> 00:38:47.579
 for

00:38:47.579 --> 00:38:47.720
 the

00:38:47.720 --> 00:38:48.079
 benefit

00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:48.420
 of

00:38:48.420 --> 00:38:48.740
 others

00:38:48.740 --> 00:38:49.180
 around

00:38:49.179 --> 00:38:49.579
 us

00:38:49.579 --> 00:38:51.159
 and

00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:51.639
 ultimately

00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:53.079
 for

00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:53.219
 the

00:38:53.219 --> 00:38:53.519
 glory

00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:53.659
 of

00:38:53.659 --> 00:38:53.759
 the

00:38:53.759 --> 00:38:53.940
 Lord

00:38:53.940 --> 00:38:56.000
 so

00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:56.239
 even

00:38:56.239 --> 00:38:56.579
 though

00:38:56.579 --> 00:38:56.859
 in

00:38:56.859 --> 00:38:57.059
 this

00:38:57.059 --> 00:38:57.399
 life

00:38:57.399 --> 00:38:57.619
 we

00:38:57.619 --> 00:38:57.839
 are

00:38:57.839 --> 00:38:58.059
 but

00:38:58.059 --> 00:38:58.519
 dust

00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:00.099
 that

00:39:00.099 --> 00:39:00.219
 we

00:39:00.219 --> 00:39:00.399
 ought

00:39:00.399 --> 00:39:00.519
 to

00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:00.819
 remember

00:39:00.819 --> 00:39:01.059
 our

00:39:01.059 --> 00:39:01.440
 death

00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:02.440
 in

00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:03.000
 Christ

00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:03.239
 we

00:39:03.239 --> 00:39:03.480
 have

00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:03.579
 a

00:39:03.579 --> 00:39:03.940
 completely

00:39:03.940 --> 00:39:04.500
 fulfilled

00:39:04.500 --> 00:39:05.219
 existence

00:39:05.219 --> 00:39:07.539
 forevermore

00:39:07.539 --> 00:39:08.019
 in

00:39:08.019 --> 00:39:08.500
 eternity

00:39:08.500 --> 00:39:09.559
 in

00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:09.699
 the

00:39:09.699 --> 00:39:10.019
 presence

00:39:10.019 --> 00:39:10.239
 of

00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:10.359
 the

00:39:10.359 --> 00:39:10.519
 one

00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:10.659
 true

00:39:10.659 --> 00:39:10.919
 God

00:39:10.919 --> 00:39:11.079
 but

00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:11.279
 that

00:39:11.279 --> 00:39:12.339
 that

00:39:12.339 --> 00:39:12.460
 is

00:39:12.460 --> 00:39:12.739
 for

00:39:12.739 --> 00:39:13.000
 us

00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:13.139
 in

00:39:13.139 --> 00:39:13.319
 this

00:39:13.319 --> 00:39:13.659
 life

00:39:13.659 --> 00:39:14.480
 and

00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:14.619
 that

00:39:14.619 --> 00:39:14.799
 we

00:39:14.799 --> 00:39:15.119
 learn

00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:15.319
 to

00:39:15.319 --> 00:39:15.739
 grow

00:39:15.739 --> 00:39:16.539
 into

00:39:16.539 --> 00:39:17.059
 that

00:39:17.059 --> 00:39:17.480
 life

00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:18.119
 by

00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:18.619
 faith

00:39:18.619 --> 00:39:20.579
 because

00:39:20.579 --> 00:39:20.739
 of

00:39:20.739 --> 00:39:20.839
 the

00:39:20.839 --> 00:39:21.059
 grace

00:39:21.059 --> 00:39:21.219
 that

00:39:21.219 --> 00:39:21.420
 God

00:39:21.420 --> 00:39:21.719
 gives

00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:21.920
 to

00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:22.139
 us

00:39:22.139 --> 00:39:22.299
 in

00:39:22.299 --> 00:39:22.539
 Christ

00:39:22.539 --> 00:39:22.880
 Jesus

00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:23.659
 let's

00:39:23.659 --> 00:39:23.859
 pray

00:39:23.859 --> 00:39:28.579
 Lord God

00:39:28.579 --> 00:39:29.559
 disillusion

00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:30.079
 us

00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.519
 help us

00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:33.139
 to see

00:39:33.139 --> 00:39:35.079
 the

00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:36.039
 unreality

00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:36.799
 of our

00:39:36.799 --> 00:39:37.359
 lives

00:39:37.359 --> 00:39:38.019
 if it

00:39:38.019 --> 00:39:38.559
 is rooted

00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:39.539
 in the

00:39:39.539 --> 00:39:39.940
 pursuit

00:39:39.940 --> 00:39:40.199
 of

00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:40.659
 pleasure

00:39:40.659 --> 00:39:42.440
 or

00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:43.000
 clean

00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:43.460
 wise

00:39:43.460 --> 00:39:43.920
 living

00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:45.960
 or

00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:46.380
 work

00:39:46.380 --> 00:39:46.960
 that

00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:47.480
 is

00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:49.099
 an

00:39:49.099 --> 00:39:49.519
 end

00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:49.860
 to

00:39:49.860 --> 00:39:50.360
 itself

00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:51.099
 that

00:39:51.099 --> 00:39:51.340
 is

00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:51.680
 the

00:39:51.680 --> 00:39:52.260
 means

00:39:52.260 --> 00:39:52.480
 by

00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:52.680
 which

00:39:52.680 --> 00:39:52.840
 we

00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:53.079
 think

00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:53.240
 we

00:39:53.240 --> 00:39:53.380
 will

00:39:53.380 --> 00:39:53.599
 have

00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:53.980
 eternal

00:39:53.980 --> 00:39:54.460
 purpose

00:39:54.460 --> 00:39:55.079
 and

00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:55.360
 meaning

00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:55.700
 Lord

00:39:55.700 --> 00:39:56.720
 shake

00:39:56.720 --> 00:39:56.900
 us

00:39:56.900 --> 00:39:57.159
 up

00:39:57.159 --> 00:39:57.900
 help

00:39:57.900 --> 00:39:58.039
 us

00:39:58.039 --> 00:39:58.320
 to be

00:39:58.320 --> 00:39:58.720
 very

00:39:58.720 --> 00:39:59.079
 real

00:39:59.079 --> 00:39:59.460
 people

00:39:59.460 --> 00:40:00.079
 that

00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:00.420
 desire

00:40:00.420 --> 00:40:00.940
 reality

00:40:00.940 --> 00:40:01.240
 even

00:40:01.240 --> 00:40:01.519
 if it

00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:01.740
 is

00:40:01.740 --> 00:40:01.960
 a bit

00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:02.619
 unsettling

00:40:02.619 --> 00:40:05.300
 Lord

00:40:05.300 --> 00:40:05.840
 ultimately

00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:06.400
 we want

00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:06.619
 this

00:40:06.619 --> 00:40:07.159
 reality

00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:07.639
 to lead

00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:07.900
 us

00:40:07.900 --> 00:40:08.200
 to

00:40:08.200 --> 00:40:09.039
 truth

00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:10.440
 to

00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:10.619
 your

00:40:10.619 --> 00:40:10.960
 son

00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:12.340
 who

00:40:12.340 --> 00:40:12.619
 has
