Meaning out of meaninglessness
Ecclesiastes has a rep for saying everything is dismal and discouraging because everything is meaningless. But only if we leave out the context. With the conclusion ignored, everything falls into the hands of doubters and double mindedness.

The context is that only God makes everything worthwhile and without Him everything is meaningless. Why is everything meaningless?
My answer is that it is time, found prominently in the seen, that makes eventually everything meaningless and forgettable. Only the unseen makes everything meaningful, where all things stand. This conclusion is obviously evidenced in God's own definition of Himself, who said who He was I am that I am' which is to say, I Exist.
