Ecclesiastes

I recently spent about 3 hours contributing my opinion to a political site. I have always been politically opinionated. However, now when I participate in such an activity, in the end I think of the book of Ecclesiastes in The Bible, especially chapter 1, verses 1-11.

Read it.

We can “solve the world’s problems” 1,000 times within our lives, but we might as well enjoy the experience, because our life is short and the next generation will solve the same problems 1,000 times over again.

In other words, if you’re going to “solve the world’s problems,” do so over a beer with people you like. I like the guys on the site and I think we’ll have beers one day, maybe in some cool places, so I didn’t do so badly today.
