Why does life so often feel like we’re just going in circles—working, striving, chasing, yet never fully satisfied? In the opening chapter of Ecclesiastes, Solomon pulls back the curtain on the emptiness of life “under the sun.” Wisdom, work, and even pleasure prove to be like chasing the wind—promising fulfillment but leaving us restless.
