We know from studies of priming that unnoticed stimuli in our environment have a substantial influence on our thoughts and actions. These influences fluctuate from moment to moment.

Daniel Kahneman
Our labor always meets the fate of the sandcastles. Solomon asks what “gain” or “profit” can be found in our labor (Eccl. 1:3). The Hebrew word he uses (yithron) refers to gaining “leverage” in the world—some sort of advantage. It is futile to think that man can leverage the world and life by means of his own labor and toil.
