About this episode

Dr. David Swanson discusses the themes of wisdom, reality, and the purpose of life in light of death as presented in Ecclesiastes.

Dr. David Swanson | Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 We will often use bubbles to hide in to protect ourselves from reality - to make ourselves believe this is really home when it is not. We are nomads. No amount of wisdom or laughter or commercial success will change that. However, if death is a reality, then life becomes a gift - a privilege - and a purposeful endeavor.
