  "Meaningless! Meaningless!"
       says the Teacher.
       "Utterly meaningless!
       Everything is meaningless."

What does man gain from all his labor
       at which he toils under the sun?

Generations come and generations go,
       but the earth remains forever.

The sun rises and the sun sets,
       and hurries back to where it

"I saw the tears of the oppressed--
and they have no comforter;
power was on the side of their opressors--
and they have no comforter.

And i declared that the dead,
who had already died,
are happier than the living,
who are still alive.

But better than both
is he who has not yet been,
who has not seen the evil
that is done under the sun."

Comfort is something hard to find in the good old book of Ecc, nevertheless, i like this passage.

"If one falls down
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!

Also, if two lie down together, they
will keep warm.
But how can one keeep warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly
broken."
