everything is meaningless.

as i lay in bed aimlessly perusing the internet, i decided to look through all my tagged photos on facebook. this menial task begins to create a mix of emotions inside of me. i feel as though life is passing by so quickly that i am hardly able to enjoy it. i look back at the moments captured in the pictures and think "ah, that was fun" or "man, those were good times" but what do i have to show for all that except for some pictures?

i guess that's life, though. it is difficult to truly enjoy anything on this earth in the moment because after all, it's just that: a moment which will pass by and soon be forgotten.

and that is why the things of this earth are meaningless, everything is meaningless (ecclesiastes).

"a man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. this too, i see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat and find enjoyment? to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. this too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind." -- ecclesiastes 2:24-26
