Every person the same
We have all been created in a way that only a relationship with our Creator can fulfil us. Everything else is emptiness.
Every man has his own set of circumstances, whether good or bad. Some men may be rich and surrounded by friends and family, whilst some men may be poor, lonely and have experienced great pain and loss. We would never think that these two men are in any way similar by the way that they think or the problems that they have. Yet, both men are in need of exactly the same thing, both men have exactly the same troubles, the same problems and the same thoughts.
Look at Job in Job and King Solomon in Ecclesiastes. In terms of circumstances these men are the polar opposites. Job has experienced tremendous pain and loss and is in poor health. In comparison, Solomon, the king of Jerusalem at one time, has all he ever wanted. He has riches more than anyone before him and he is blessed with wisdom and knowledge. Despite being the complete opposites, both men are as equally perplexed with life as the other, cursing the day they were born and struggling to find the point in living and in life. So much so that some of their words at times are even repeated by one another nearly word for word. Both men have the same problem, but most importantly, both come to the same conclusion - that only through God can we find real happiness and fulfilment.
