With much wisdom comes much disappointment; the person who gains more knowledge also gains more sorrow.

All things continue the way they have been since the beginning. What has happened will happen again; there is nothing new here on earth.

Everything is boring, so boring that you don’t even want to talk about it. Words come again and again to our ears, but we never hear enough, nor can we ever really see all we want to see.

The Teacher says, “Useless! Useless! Completely useless! Everything is useless.” What do people really gain from all the hard work they do here on earth?

I looked at everything done on earth and saw that it is all useless, like chasing the wind.

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

People don’t remember what happened long ago, and in the future people will not remember what happens now. Even later, other people will not remember what was done before them.

So I decided to find out about wisdom and knowledge and also about foolish thinking, but this turned out to be like chasing the wind.
