Ecc. 5

Solomon stated, “The more goods there are, the more people there are to consume them. How does any of this really benefit the owners except they can gaze proudly on their possessions?”

I’m NOT PROUD to say that I am a collector; bicycles and parts, stereo gear, and trombones. This verse from Solomon (he collected wives and horses) convicts me. I can only ride one bike at a time etc. Confusion would prevail if I tried to listen to 20 stereos at once. I KNOW I need to sell at least 4 trombones (and keep four). At least I can play them … separately.

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. [1 Tim. 6:8]
