The Reality

     After the philosophies of the Nehene, Amal, and Y.E., this week the Chacham is introduced. The Chacham is obviously very wise and I feel a connection to him. Although I have liked some of the ideas staited in each of the characters philophies, overall, the Chacham has made the most sense to me. In Perek 7, the Chacham responds to the Chacham, Amal, and Y.E.'s philosophies with a very straight forward mind. 
 The Chacham responds to the Nehene and says that he would rather go to a funeral than a party. With a party it is fun in the moment, but the memories just fade. Also, when someone contemplates death it makes them realize what is important. Opposed to the Nehene, the Chacham focuses on the reality. The reality is that everyone dies. The Nehene just ignores this reality and enjoys.
The Chacham then responds to the Amal's philosophy with the same realistic approach that he had with the Nehene. The Amal is so caught up on the idea that he would eventually die without obtaining perfection therefore he would rather never have been born. The Chacham explains that g-d made the world a certain way. He made the world broken ( death) and the Amal cannot fix the fact. Instead the Amal had to realize that death is the reality and he cannot get stuck on that fact.          After the Nehene, Amal, and YE's philosophies were given, this week the Chacham was introduced. The Chacham was really the only philosophy that I felt made the most sense to me. Yes sometimes I feel that all the work we do is worthless and that we should just enjoy what g-d gave us, but those are just parts of the other philosophies. The Chacham's philosophy made sense to me all around. In Perek 7, the Chacham responds to the Nehene, the Amal, and the YE's philosophies.     Lastly, the Chacham responds to the Yerai Elokim's philosophy. He explains to the Y.E. that there is no person that is so righteous that not even he will not sin. Everyone sins. Again, the word reality is back.
 I like how the Chacham is a realist and has come to the conclusion that nothing is perfect, everyone sins, and death is just a part of life. I am starting to think that the Chacham will find a purpose and Kohelet will finally be happy and find the meaning of lif
