Ecclesiastes 2:14 says, The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.  I believe Solomon was saying that a wise person looks where they are going and lives life with purpose, but the fool just stumbles through life.  We today as followers of Christ need to live our with purpose.  That purpose needs to be to go where God leads us.  Still, even when we live life with a purpose, we like the fool are subjected to sickness, and ultimately death.  Solomon continued in verse fifteen, Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.  Again, Solomon was looking for purpose in life, and he was seemingly questioning what advantage there was to being wise.  There are people today who believe that what we do doesn't matter.  They believe that everything is already mapped out, so we might as well do anything we want to do.  They really see no advantage to living life wisely.  They seem to feel the same as Solomon was saying, and that is that the wise and the foolish end up at the same place.  They both die, and it all amounts to nothing in everlasting terms.  Verse sixteen says, For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.  Solomon was looking for purpose in life, and he wasn't finding it in the things of this world.  We may remember some people today because of what they did in a historical perspective, but most, whether wise or foolish, pass into oblivion, which is why we must look at life from our relationship with God.  If we are His, we will never be forgotten.
