With much wisdom comes frustration. The one who gains more wisdom also gains more sorrow.

All things continue the way they have been since the beginning. The same things will be done that have always been done. There is nothing new in this life.

Words cannot fully explain things, but people continue speaking. Words come again and again to our ears, but our ears don’t become full. And our eyes don’t become full of what we see.

Everything is so meaningless. The Teacher says that it is all a waste of time! Do people really gain anything from all the hard work they do in this life?

I looked at everything done on earth, and I saw that it is all a waste of time. It is like trying to catch the wind.

People live and people die, but the earth continues forever.

People don’t remember what happened long ago. In the future, they will not remember what is happening now. And later, other people will not remember what the people before them did.

I decided to learn how wisdom and knowledge are better than thinking foolish thoughts. But I learned that trying to become wise is like trying to catch the wind.
