Two people are better than one, because they can reap more benefit from their labor.

Furthermore, if two lie down together, they can keep each other warm, but how can one person keep warm by himself?

So I again considered all the oppression that continually occurs on earth. This is what I saw: The oppressed were in tears, but no one was comforting them; no one delivers them from the power of their oppressors.

No one remembers the former events, nor will anyone remember the events that are yet to happen; they will not be remembered by the future generations.

I also thought to myself, “It is for the sake of people, so God can clearly show them that they are like animals.

For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything; they have no further reward – and even the memory of them disappears.

What they loved, as well as what they hated and envied, perished long ago, and they no longer have a part in anything that happens on earth.

For the fate of humans and the fate of animals are the same: As one dies, so dies the other; both have the same breath. There is no advantage for humans over animals, for both are fleeting.
