Ecc. 6: Riches Sans Enjoyment

Ecclesiastes 6:11 "The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?"

What a terrible, meaningless, grievous thing to be given great riches by God, and to not be able to enjoy them. To not attempt to enjoy them. Why did God endow a rich man with his wealth to begin with if not to enjoy it? To have all these riches and wealth at your disposal and to refuse it, ignore it, or to ... maybe be unaware of it completely?

So severe is this malfeasance that Solomon suggests that it is better that a man be stillborn than to go through life not appreciating his riches. At that point, the stillborn person still rests more. In spite of experiencing nothing, and being shrouded in darkness for his whole existence, he rests more. Hm...enjoy what you have. Everyone goes to the same place...the grave, even the fools and wise. From that perspective, a wise man has no advantage over a fool.
