1. Again I saw all the people who were treated badly here on earth.I saw their tears.I saw that they had no one to comfort them.Cruel people had all the power.There was no one to comfort the people they hurt.
2. I decided that the deadare better off than the living.
3. But those who have never been bornare better off still.They have not seen the evilthat is done here on earth.
4. I realized the reason people work hard and try to succeed: They are jealous of each other. This, too, is useless. It is like chasing the wind.
5. Some say that it is foolish to fold your hands and do nothing.You will starve to death!
6. Maybe so, but I say it is better to be contentwith what little you have.Otherwise, you will always be struggling for more.That is like chasing the wind.
7. Again I saw something here on earth that was senseless:
8. I saw a person who had no family.He had no son or brother.He always worked hard.But he was never satisfied with what he had.He never asked himself, “For whom am I working so hard?Why don’t I let myself enjoy life?”This also is very sad and senseless.
