Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
Is this where Solomon began to understand that all is vanity? Is this the recognition that man is driven by an intense desire to accumulate possessions? Might not this intensity be a sin driven warping of the Imago Dei, of the desire of the Almighty to create beauty and display His Glory?
