Sensuality

“Nothing is better for a man than to eat and drink and enjoy his work. I have also seen that this is from the hand of God.”

“So I commended the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be merry. For this joy will accompany him in his labor during the days of his life that God gives him under the sun.”

“Rejoice, O young man, while you are young, and let your heart be glad in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and in the sight of your eyes, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.”

“But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!””

““Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!””

“Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’”

“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’”

“But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.”
