a time for everything

That's basically it, there is a time for everything. Like what the passage said....a time for war and a time for peace, a time to be born and a time to die and etc. Whatever begins, something needs to end it and then again it continues in a cycle or circle.....circle of life....haha (lame joke, i know)
It's astonishing the way life can fit all of these elements or themes or emotions into a unlimited capacity. It may or may not be within my lifetime that all of these things will happen, but throughout history, it managed to fit. Life just continues and continues adding a new theme to its days. Even when it seems like nothing significant is happening in my life, there is something significant happening in another being's life. In spite of all that, we seem to want more. Because of the fact that life goes in a circle and tends to repeat itself, we always want something new or different. Humans are never truly satisfied. Like what the book said......God has put a "burden" on humans making it impossible to reach the "ultimate satisfaction on earth." I guess what they are trying to say is that life right now is only temporary. Ultimate satisfaction is the end, there is no more seeking. Despite that, we do live on earth where the hunt for that satisfaction continues and continues until "death do us part" from such hunger.
I remember writing a post about how I had a thought of whether there is truly a "happiness." I claimed that it was just an illusion hiding all the misconception. Like if you really think about our "happiness"......what makes it happiness? We have happiness because we can afford it. We have the material wealth and the so-called American life that can buy our way out of sadness at times or even take our satisfaction to a whole new level where it becomes unnecessary at times. It felt not pure like it was man made. What happened to the simple things in life? when did everything become so complex? Happiness must not be real,
but we "think" there is a time for it.....or something....not really sure where i am going with this......... Anyways, this was my brief pessimistic view of life and now that i think about it there are many ways to view how happiness itself can be derived. Wow I really do have good memory, i wrote that post all the way back in January...haha ok just kidding i forget things really easily, but I do remember this. Mark :D commented on my post stating that the Bible does show that there is a "time for everything" even for the polar opposites.

King Solomon, in my opinion, was unconsciously wasting his life. He basically spent most of his lifetime satisfying himself. The way I see it is that he in the end he realizes what he has done and goes into a deep regret (actually the book hinted that part i think =P). God is so creative in coming up with such distinguished themes/emotions/elements in the life of a human. He gives us so much opportunities to live it all out.....feeling pain, happiness, joy, grief, and even regret through these "times". Solomon put too much emphasis on one section. Looking at the list, I realize that every human is given the gift to experience all these "times." Doesn't matter if they are old or young, rich or poor. These "times" seem to not discriminate people of any category. There is a reason why we should experience something different everyday. weeping brings empathy/sympathy and etc. Love brings care and etc. War brings competition and etc. Peace brings rest and etc. We can't just experience only one of those things. We need contradictions, we need opposites.....we can learn so much from two perspectives instead of one. We are complex due to the fact we go through a complex life.
Going back to my "happiness" topic, I think God gave us these "times" to find our own happiness. We can find it when it is our time to laugh, we may even find it in our time to die. God works in such a funny way because He gives us the freewill to find our own fill in the blank that is different from everyone else.

i think i contradicted myself somewhere in this post.....hmmm.......
