Man is fallen very deeply. The natural man is. What comes out of man is malice, deceit, murder, hatred, slander, conceit, and all kinds of evil. What man thinks is futility. What man does is evil. What man ends in emptiness, sheer meaninglessness. What man boasts is earthliness. What man talks about is self-esteem. What man gropes is heaven. What man seeks is physical pleasures. What man leaves is empty dishes. What man pursues is out of trouble of all sorts, even worry free. What man eats up is time. What man misses is eternity. What man sticks to is fantasy and illusion, the exact opposite of reality. What man digs is sorrow. What man thirsts is living water. What man hungers is hidden manna. What man searches is God.
“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” (Ecclesiastes 1:2 NKJV)
