“In one of the most beautiful poems in the Scriptures, the Teacher shows that there is purpose and balance to all things, even in this present life. Everyday life takes on significance in the enjoyment of one’s work and the happiness of human love. The message is aimed directly at the young people for whom much of the wisdom literature is intended. In conclusion the Teacher urges that all things find their fulfillment in acknowledging the Creator’s purpose for mankind and in obeying his will.”
