We can learn much from the wisest foolish man that ever lived...

It is indeed ironic that the wisest man that ever lived also indulged in much foolishness.

He actually pointed this out when he wrote about his pursuit of things apart from God.

It is all foolish vanity if the focus in all we do here on earth is horizontal and selfish. If everything we do is not vertical and selfless, not centered in Christ, then it all burns. Its as simple as that, coming from a Biblical perspective.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. Ecclesiastes 1:14-18
