Ecclesiastes 1-2:

Have you ever wondered if Solomon knew what he was doing with all his indulgences? I find it interesting that he mentions his wisdom remained with him. In the midst of all his ridiculous self indulgence he still had his wisdom, which to me doesn't mean he blindly expected all this to fulfill him. If anyone could have it all, it was Solomon.  And he certainly tested pleasure out. Gave it a serious run. We are talking about a man who not only threw great parties, but a guy who who bought the band. However, he gives us the final grade when he says it is all vanity. He has it all, but it left him empty and in the end it was meaningless. This book is perhaps the most vivid example in the Bible that we are not solely material beings. We are also spiritual. There is a God created vacuum in human souls that needs our creator, and with out him all the pleasures in the world are worthless.
