2:10-11~I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, EVERYTHING WAS MEANINGLESS, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.
1:15~What is twisted cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted.
1:18~For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.
2:13,14~I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness. The wise man has eyes in his head, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.
2:18~I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.
4:7-12~Again I saw something meaningless under the sun: There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. "For whom am I toiling," he asked, "and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?" This too is meaningless-a miserable business! Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: 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 keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
I'm so tired of trying and trying. I'm only banging my head into a brick wall. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. I'm always berated and ridiculed and I get no breaks. And I feel like I'm getting most of the hostility.
