When people do not know what fate is all about or understand God's sovereignty, they're just struggling and stumbling through the fog based on their own will, and that journey is too arduous, and it causes too much heartache. So when people realize that God is sovereign over human fate, the clever ones choose to know and accept God's sovereignty, and bid farewell to the painful days of "trying to build a good life with their own two hands," rather than continuing to struggle against fate and pursue their so-called life goals in their own way.

When a person is without God, when they cannot see Him, when they cannot truly and clearly know God's sovereignty, every day is meaningless, worthless, and indescribably painful. No matter where a person is, and what their job is, their means of survival and the goals that they pursue bring them nothing but endless heartache, and pain that is difficult to get over, such that they cannot bear to look back on their past. Only by accepting the Creator's sovereignty, submitting to His orchestrations and arrangements, and pursuing the attainment of true human life, can a person gradually break free from all heartache and pain, and gradually rid themselves of all the emptiness of human life.
