"We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me." - Jack Handey

Ecclesiastes
No notes on this one. The book itself is a meditation of what our attitude toward life should be. Obviously the famous passage is "To everything there is a season." More important, I think, is the passage "There is nothing new under the sun." We can't expect ultimate solutions to the problems and difficulties of life-- they've existed before us, they are universal. Even our attempted solutions to the difficulties of life have been tried before. Our attitude must be one of faithful acceptance.
