Solomon says something similar in the book of Ecclesiastes. But if you read the whole book, which you can because it's short, he's describing different stages of his life and all the things he tried to find meaning and satisfaction. Now being a king who was rich beyond belief and had hundreds of wives and concubines, he really did try everything lol. And in the end he didn't find satisfaction in all the hedonistic pleasure the world had to offer. So that's at least one man's opinion on living a fulfilling life. For whatever it's worth.

Yeah I think that’s the part I remember and I remember being taught that it was wrong, but I interpreted the one part differently and out of context as basically, “we are not in control” not meaning, “don’t do anything and be a drunk”, but to try to enjoy what we can and accept what we can’t control. Again, I have no idea what I’m talking about. I just liked the wording and how it made me think.
