Eccl 2:1-11 v1 "I said to my heart..." v11 "Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun."
Why do we chase after pleasure?
1. It's fun for a while.
2. It temporarily numbs us from reality, responsibilities and pain.
3. Instant gratification. Chasing a meaningful relationship with Jesus and those around you is hard because it takes a lifetime.
The problem is that chasing pleasure makes it all about us.
Eccl 3:10-11 Our hearts were made for a relationship with God and for eternity. Ps 16:11
