Megosztás

For with great wisdom comes great frustration; whoever increases his knowledge merely increases his heartache.

What exists now is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing truly new on earth.

All this monotony is tiresome; no one can bear to describe it: The eye is never satisfied with seeing, nor is the ear ever content with hearing.

“Futile! Futile!” laments the Teacher, “Absolutely futile! Everything is futile!” What benefit do people get from all the effort which they expend on earth?

I reflected on everything that is accomplished by man on earth, and I concluded: Everything he has accomplished is futile – like chasing the wind!

A generation comes and a generation goes, but the earth remains the same through the ages.

No one remembers the former events, nor will anyone remember the events that are yet to happen; they will not be remembered by the future generations.

So I decided to discern the benefit of wisdom and knowledge over foolish behavior and ideas; however, I concluded that even this endeavor is like trying to chase the wind!
