We are going to see the same 'punchline' time and time again in Ecclesiastes - the key to a worthwhile life in the face of the futility of existence!!!
"Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labour, in which he labours under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion. Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour—this is the gift of God. For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life; because God occupies him with the joy of his heart."

One of my all-time favourite insights comes from this chapter:
"A threefold cord is not quickly broken."
This 'power of three' is something that drives the way I present, often write, discuss issues, and build proposals. In context, it is an appeal against the folly of isolationism. (Isolation is different from solitude - there is much strength that arises from times of solitude!) Two people can help one another in difficult times - and they can keep warm! They can defend one another too. But a cord of three strands - especially when it is woven together as cords generally are - cannot be easily broken.
Ecclesiastes very much celebrates the importance of working with a purpose that includes other people.
