Joel Webbon argues that a life centered on pleasure, novelty, and instant gratification eventually reaches a point of emptiness. Drawing on Ecclesiastes, he says that material experiences alone cannot provide lasting meaning, purpose, or joy. He contrasts that pursuit with the Christian call to live for something beyond immediate desire, grounding meaning in reverence for God and the person of Jesus Christ.
