"Meaningless! Meaningless! — says Qoheleth — Everything is meaningless. No one remembers the people of long ago; and those to come will not be remembered by those who come after them. I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart. This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of people, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead. What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? Who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?" (Qoheleth)
