Contrast

Ecclesiates 1:18 with Galatians 5:22 (and verse 16)

While it is true that with an increase in wisdom comes an increase in sorrow, we have a great hope and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This will allow us to overcome the bleakness of our current situation and see life from the perspective of eternity. There, waiting at the viewpoint of heaven, Love, Joy, and Peace wait with arms outstretched ready to comfort the weary.

A promise in verse 16. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
