All is Vanity

As I was meditating on the Moviegoer, I couldn't help but think of two accepted maxims of daily life found in Ecclesiastes:

1) All is vanity (1:2)

2) There is nothing new under the sun (1:9)

As I pondered these things today I began to notice patterns throughout our daily lives. We wake up. We eat breakfast (sometimes we skip it). We go to class. We eat. We go to class again. We do something with our friends. We set and early bedtime. We miss bedtime because of homework. We go to bed. The end.

And so we continue, day after day, maybe some things stick out. We may remember fun things we did before. We may remember deep thoughts, but essentially, there is no heightened emotion. There is no awareness of self or purpose. We lose that thirst for adventure, that desire to go seek why we are on this planet.

Well, I'm going to leave it at that. I'm going to go find myself...or maybe I'll just look at funny cat pictures instead.
