Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes opened up how it is vanity to chase after wisdom, to self-indulgence, to living wisely, to toil. He ended each topic with 'I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after the wind'. In chapter 3, he even said that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful, and to do good as long as they live.
In most state of our striving, we come into times we realize that whatever we do, it will just be vanity, nothing we can gain. I realize that no matter how thriving we are, most of the things we do would just be vanity. A chase after the wind. As said, nothing better than to be joyful. In addition tho, still continue to do good. In the end of the book, it was said to remember your Creator in the days of your youth.
In all these vanities. Be joyful. Do good. Remember God.
