Meaningless

I was reading this morning in Ecclesiastes about enjoying where you are in life. Enjoy it while you're young. Enjoy it while you're old. 

In chapter 11 verses 8-10 it says: 
When people live to be very old, let them rejoice in every day of life. But let them also remember there will be many dark days. Everything still to come is meaningless.
Young people, it's wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless.

The "Everything still to come is meaningless" and "remember that youth.... is meaningless" is so true. 
Duh! It's in the Bible!
But one of my thoughts on this is...... I don't think we will ever truly know how meaningless it all really is until our bodies are buried and our souls are with him.
