摘要：In our modern society, much of life is spent at a frantic pace, an endless striving to keep up with the many demands placed upon it. From the midst of the scurry, we occasionally lift our heads and pause long enough to wonder what we are striving for, if there is lasting purpose in what we do, or if we are caught on an endless wheel. A glance at our magazines and self-help books reminds us that our worth and meaning will be found once we finally capture the elusive prize of wealth, fame, or similar significance. And off we race again. Slowly our strength ebbs, and exhausted we collapse in the dust only to realize that from dust we came and irrevocably to dust we will return. Of what use then will our accomplishments be when the memory of them has long faded? Of what purpose was our life when the spotlight has sought its next celebrity? Our hearts begin to despair at the hopelessness, meaninglessness, and futility. “We finish our years like a sigh…their boast is only labor and sorrow; for soon it is cut off, and we fly away.”1
