Seek and find by Gary Rose

I have no idea who this person is, but I like him!!! His sense of humor is wonderful!!! Being able to accept yourself for what you are and then find the humor "of it all" is the sign of a healthy mind. Many people seek for meaning in this life, but few find it.

Here are some thoughts about life from that wisest of kings, Solomon...

Ecclesiastes, Chapter 2 (World English Bible)

  ¹ I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth: therefore enjoy pleasure;” and behold, this also was vanity.  ² I said of laughter, “It is foolishness;” and of mirth, “What does it accomplish?” 

  ³ I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold of folly, until I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their lives.  ⁴ I made myself great works. I built myself houses. I planted myself vineyards.  ⁵ I made myself gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit.  ⁶ I made myself pools of water, to water from it the forest where trees were grown.  ⁷ I bought male servants and female servants, and had servants born in my house. I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem.  ⁸ I also gathered silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces. I got myself male and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men: musical instruments, and that of all sorts.  ⁹ So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.  ¹⁰ Whatever my eyes desired, I didn’t keep from them. I didn’t withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor.  ¹¹ Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

Ecclesiastes, Chapter 12 (WEB)

 ¹³ This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.  ¹⁴ For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil. 

Solomon eventually learned to turn to God almighty for meaning in life. So should we. Your sense of humor may not improve, but a healthy respect for God and obedience to his will are the highest goals one can attain to.
