15. I thought to myself,“What happens to a fool will happen to me, too,so what is the reward for being wise?”I said to myself,“Being wise is also useless.”
16. The wise person and the foolwill both die,and no one will remember either one for long.In the future, both will be forgotten.
17. So I hated life. It made me sad to think that everything here on earth is useless, like chasing the wind.
