Ecclesiastes 5-6
It is meaningless to desire that which you do not have. God blesses those whom he will bless and if he blesses you with a gift, then enjoy the gift, share it with others and be filled with joy. But if curse instead is your lot, then be satisfied with what you have and be merry. To wish for different is to place your hope in meaninglessness. This then may be the true secret of the Beatitude Blessed are the poor... the blessedness comes in joyful acceptance of our lot whatever that is.
