Document Summary
Look at septuagint (hebrew bible into greek) What"s the point of all of this. What has been done will be done. Lifes don"t mean anything because we don"t remember them and no one else does. Chasing after something they can"t grab- wind. More pleasure- not storehouse of wine that we want. Just enjoy the simple pleasures of life that will make us happy. Even that doesn"t mean anything but enjoy it while we"re here. Benevolent guy all powerful controlling human affairs. Not the same god as the one that created heaven and earth. Seems more separated from earth than genesis god. We can derive ethical action from laws of nature. God instilled himself from laws of nature. Dissatisfaction of power to expect in future and remember backwards but can"t find what god has done and what he will do. Who knows spirit of animal up and human down. Who will bring them to see after them.
