Meaningless! Meaningless! There aren't many books in the Bible or otherwise that begin as bleakly as this one.

And, plot spoiler, the vibe doesn't lift much as Ecclesiastes progresses.

There is no point to life it seems than for a person to eat, drink and take what pleasure they can from work, as a human lifespan is as brief as it is pointless. Furthermore, the dead are soon forgotten.

Enjoy!
