Body
Every single one of us has a big looming problem, one day we expect to die (11:17-22).
Denial, a typical response, does not change the reality of death (17).
Sorrow, because things are not the way they are supposed to be, is natural (18-19).
Regret, over what could have been, often accompanies realization (20-22).
Image: The typical mid-life crisis.
MTR: Ask yourself, "have I properly acknowledged the reality of death?"
Optimism and even general hope hardly solve our looming problem (11:23-24).
There is more to life than this present age (23).
We want more assurance than a mere general hope for the future provides (24).
===MTR: Evaluate your future hope. Do you have something specifically to which you can look forward?
