Ecclesiastes 'God Called You'

327 Words2 Pages

God called you…
What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? Ecclesiastes 2:22 (NIV). "Is there any meaning to the time that I spend in this world?" This is what Solomon the writer of Ecclesiastes seeks to answer. He is asking the question if everything in life is meaningless. Our hearts are very unwilling to quit their expectations of great things from happening, wouldn’t you agree with this statement? I’m sure we have all asked the same question once or twice in our lifetime, what my purpose in this life and what does it mean. There is a place deep inside our hearts and minds and even deep in your marrow where passion lies to do something bigger than this life is presenting to you at this

  • Irving Singer The Nature Of Love Analysis

    1231 Words  | 5 Pages

    The reader can acknowledge how Singer believes that the primary source of living a meaningful life, is love. Within his novel, the Pursuit of Love, Irving Singer discusses how love is the central definition of what meaning is, as well as further analyzes how love is not a desire to be loved. Nonetheless, Irving Singer would claim that life is not meaningless because humans search for meaning within all aspects of our existence. By solely being alive, individuals find the things that matter to them; therefore, whatever we as individuals believe “matters,” is a prerequisite for our life because it will bring happiness. Irving Singer’s optimistic theories make him an ideal philosopher because he offers an immense amount of insight by discussing how we can add meaning to our lives.
