The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” – Ecclesiastes 1:1-2 Vanity is something useless, incomplete, hollow, empty, brief, and without foundation.

Recently I came across a Bible verse that though simple got me thinking.

When choosing what to wear there are usually two factors to consider in the selection process: the occasion, and fashion trends. After all, people will try to wear what make them look better. There is a saying that states that “you are what you wear”. I don’t agree with it, unless it refers to spiritual [...]
Exploratory surgery is a diagnostic method used by doctors when trying to find a diagnosis for an ailment. It is used most commonly to diagnose or locate cancer in humans. I guess that nobody would like to find out if they have cancer, but not knowing the truth about a disease will not change the fact [...]
