Chasing after the wind

Today was a strange day. Sometimes the most unexpected things can occur when one least expects it. But is it real? Or am i chasing after the wind? Well.. even if its the wind.. i'll still catch it. Because this time.. giving up is not an option.

I was kinda being rather holy the past coupla days and was scrutinizing Bible texts. In the texts was a section entitled Book of Wisdom, apparently written by King Solomon, wisest of all man. In this text he wrote about life and society in general, and how one should live a life. Being really wise and apparently fully in control of himself, he purposefully put himself through a series of tests, to learn more about the darker side of the human spirit. He indulged in vices of all kinds, from food to drink to women, and in the end came up with this conclusion. That all life, good or bad, saint or sinner, driven or idle, was merely an illusion, as futile as chasing after the wind. That really struck a deep chord with me, and i asked myself if life was really as he said, merely chasing after the wind. Being all wise and knowlegable, he would definitely be the foremost authority on this. But i reminded myself that Man is not merely a creature of intellect, but also endowed with a spirit. Hence, for all his wisdom, i think that King Solomon, though he be wisest of men, was wrong. Indeed, a logical mind might deduce the futility of chasing after the wind. But the spirit is not bounded by the finiteness of the mind. It will not only assert the possiblity of chasing after the wind, it WILL catch it in the end.

No doubt about it. Here i come.
