It appears foolish to me when parents stop their children from reading the writings of Solomon (Especially Song of Solomon). Solomon was repeatedly warning teenagers and youngsters that all the cravings or desires they feel at their age mean nothing at all.
Solomon was a person who had to bear a great responsibility at a very young age. Yet he did not refuse himself the desires of his heart and mind and when he says he it is all "vanity", you must know HE REALLY MEANS IT!

Arun Tomsan I have a question for you. When Solomon says it is all vanity, can we say he was sort of speaking like an atheist? You please read his writings before answering.Thanks.

No, Sr. Golda Jasmine, Solomon is not talking like a atheist. He is rather talking like an experienced human being. No offense, Sr. Golda, but those who have lived a normal life will have difficultly in understanding the vanity and purposelessness of human life. But when you have a life as insane as mine (or Solomon's), you realized that there is no point living if there is no God and that everything else is vanity.

That is wonderful Arun. You have very nicely said. Yes, without God everything is vanity.

Conclusion: Arun Tomsan has a mature understanding of Solomon than Richard Felson(soulsolution).
