...Now those are mighty words, and they deserve the full attention of
every young person that is living at the moment and that does not want
to waste his life.
Indeed, it is a wonderful thing to be young and full of
life. It is a wonderful thing to have the strength to run up and down, as
you like, and to go for anything that your heart desires.
However, as
Solomon points out in that text, youth, with a whole life before it, can
make serious mistakes.
That means, even though you are young
today and seem to have a very promising future, if you are not well
guided in life, you can make mistakes that will ruin your entire life and
make a waste of it all.
