And what is lacking cannot be numbered.
And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

Ecclesiastes 1:15-18
What an illustration—grasping for wind. You cannot catch the wind. It is here one moment, and the moment you feel it, it is already somewhere else.
A man, Solomon said, gets wisdom and knowledge, and then what happens? He finds out that he cannot use it to make things better. "The crooked cannot be made straight." He is not talking about a piece of iron that has been bent and cannot be straightened out. He is not talking about a board that has been bent and cannot be straightened out. He is talking about the things of life, of living, and once a thing is done, it is done. It cannot be changed.
