Tomorrow is Thursday, and then moving to Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Then it began, Monday blues. It's just clearly a cycle.
Cycle of life.
You just move on from primary school to secondary school, proceed to either form six or college or uni, and then after ataining whatever cert you desire, then there you go, into the world of work work work. You don't work, you don't eat. You don't eat, you don't survive. Simple.
Cycle of life.
So what's the whole point of being here anyway? People tell me, your life has a purpose on earth here. You're designed by God, and it is God's pleasure to create human beings. I know it's true cuz God wants to have a meaningful relationship with us.
It's exactly what King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes.
Ecclesiastes 1 (New International Version)
Ecclesiastes 1:1-11
Everything Is Meaningless
1 The words of the Teacher, a]">[a] son of David, king in Jerusalem: 2 "Meaningless! Meaningless!"
says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless."
3 What does man gain from all his labor
at which he toils under the sun?
4 Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
7 All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.
8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
"Look! This is something new"?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
11 There is no remembrance of men of old,
and even those who are yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow.
On the other hand, in Ecclesiastes 12:1; 12:13-14
1 Remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble come
and the years approach when you will say,
"I find no pleasure in them"-
13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.

Anyway, life could be enriched with the relationships you create. It means spending time with those people you love.
There are 5 languages of love that you could show to your loved ones:
- Words of Affirmation
This is when you say how nice your spouse looks, or how great the dinner tasted. These words will also build your mate's self image and confidence.
- Quality Time
Some spouses believe that being together, doing things together and focusing in on one another is the best way to show love. If this is your partner's love language, turn off the TV now and then and give one another some undivided attention.
- Gifts
It is universal in human cultures to give gifts. They don't have to be expensive to send a powerful message of love. Spouses who forget a birthday or anniversary or who never give gifts to someone who truly enjoys gift giving will find themselves with a spouse who feels neglected and unloved.
- Acts of Service
Discovering how you can best do something for your spouse will require time and creativity. These acts of service like vacuuming, hanging a bird feeder, planting a garden, etc., need to be done with joy in order to be perceived as a gift of love.
Physical Touch
Sometimes just stroking your spouse's back, holding hands, or a peck on the cheek will fulfill this need.
