Ecc Ecclesiastes, chapter Ecclesiastes, chapter 2
So I ended up feeling disgusted2:17. “Feeling disgusted”: literally “hated.” with life because everything that happens here on earth is so distressing.2:17. “Distressing”: the word used here also means evil, trouble, injury, misery etc. It's so incomprehensible,2:17. “Incomprehensible”: again the Teacher is not saying life is without meaning, but that it is hard to discover the meaning. like trying to control the wind.
