My take is that, yes, on one hand, life is very short and human effort does not amount to much. This is true as far as it goes, but we must not conclude that all is vanity and all striving is hubris, wasteful and a form of repulsive rebellion, vying to compete with God.
Rather, I am an optimist. Life is short but striving and maverizing are not vain, shallow rituals, offensive to God. Instead, what we create, achieve and produce in our life time are our gift back to God, our thanks for De for giving us a chance to make a difference.
