“The one who loves money is never satisfied with money, Nor the one who loves wealth with big profits. More smoke.” (Ecclesiastes 5:10, The Message)
How truly Solomon writes here (perhaps from experience?). The one who loves money will never have enough because money is never satisfied. It always wants just a little more. Get a little more and one finds that one needs just a little more than that. The pursuit of money is a path that can never carry one to contentment. This is all smoke; it is all vanity and chasing after wind.
"Thou hast made us for thyself and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee" writes Augustine to God. Just so.
