this struck me today

"There is more to life than study, study which at times can be frustrating or 'wearisome'. There is more to life than seeking; there must be finding. There is more to discipleship than sitting in an armchair reading a sound book on theology or a challenging book on discipleship. There must be commitment which flows out into action. So we come to what in this later commentator's [author of Ecclesiastes] view is the only thing left to say, 'the end of the matter': 'Fear God and keep his commandments'."

(Robert Davidson, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Soloman, commenting on Ecclesiastes 12:12-14)
