Ecclesiastes 8:15

| My fav thing, ya kno |
So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun.
King Salomon is speaking here. He was considered a wise man with a direct connection to God and his word. It's really fun to read about him because he came to so many realizations the hard way like most of us do. And he writes to his people so they can learn form him. He was upset because he spent so much of his life building his land and working and just "being King" until he looked back and realized it was all just like "blowing in the wind". It meant nothing without relationships or fun memories or in his case devotion to God which he felt was the way to true happiness. He learned to realize that God wants us to do the work that is required but to also have fun. Enjoy life- try to find joy in your work! but then when work is over "eat drink and enjoy life".Not that we needed permission, wink wink, but it's cool to know we have it- straight from the universe.
Love ya
