We are nothing but a vapour in the wind. Here one moment and gone in another.
I think so often we look for earthly pleasures but really life here is a refining fire and not pleasure. No matter what pleasure. As C.S. Lewis says in his book the discarded image every age has certain vices that are worse than others and certain virtues that are elevated above the rest. In reality they are all the same and how quickly we forget this.
Let us remember we are here for a refiners fire and that is what gives purpose in life. How hard it is to accept this. Revelations 21:5"An he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new..."
