The Pointlessness Of Life

[15] Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity. [16] For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.

For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.

Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
