Kepuasan Sejati

Pengkhotbah 2:1-11
----------------------------------------------------------
"Segala sesuatu menjemukan, sehingga tak terkatakan oleh manusia; mata tidak kenyang melihat, telinga tidak puas mendengar." Pengkhotbah 1:8
----------------------------------------------------------
 Seorang lelaki berhenti di sebuah Agen Perjalanan (Travel Agency) dan berkata bahwa dia ingin pergi menjelajah. Dia bertanya "Ke mana?" dan dia menjawab "Saya tidak tahu." Jadi seorang yang bekerja di agen perjalanan mengusulkan dia untuk melihat di globe yang besar. Dia melihatnya untuk beberapa waktu dan dengan keadaan yang tidak puas dia berkata, "Hanya ini yang dapat anda tawarkan?"

True Satisfaction

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11
------------------------------------------------------------
"The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing." - Ecclesiastes 1:8
------------------------------------------------------------
A man stopped at a travel agency and said he wanted to go on a cruise. "Where to?" he was asked. "I don't know," was his reply. So the travel agent suggested that he take a look at a large globe that was in the room. He studied it for some time, then with a look of frustration he exclaimed, "Is this all you have to offer?"

The world in which we live has many things that appeal to us. Apart from what is wrong, we can and should enjoy its pleasures. A delicious meal together with friends warms out hearts. The beauties of nature inspire and fill us with wonder. Good music refreshes our souls. And work itself can be fulfilling.
