Definitely know how you feel; a few movies (of all things) this weekend made me feel pretty insignificant and even ignorant. I think I preferred not knowing some things.

You share a sentiment with the writer of Ecclesiastes. He spent a good portion of his life gathering wealth and every pleasure that his heart desired, and in the end, it brought him no joy because he realized that the same fate befalls the rich and the poor. Death. And he realized that after his death his wealth would go to another man, and no one would remember him. This troubled him greatly.<br/><br/>He concluded that that best thing for a men to do during their short stays on earth, and this was a blessing from God, was to find enjoyment in their work, and pleasure in simple things.<br/><br/>So your life on earth is a vapor that will effect little and be forgotten quickly. Depressing. But you also have an eternal life, which will not end, you will not be forgotten, nor be insignificant.<br/><br/>/rant Yeah, life on earth is brief.

So your life on earth is a vapor that will effect little and be forgotten quickly. Depressing. But you also have an eternal life, which will not end, you will not be forgotten, nor be insignificant.
