An idea from Ecclesiastes

Here’s the harder case: a man gets everything, money, things, a full house, but something in him can’t taste any of it. A stranger ends up enjoying what he built. That’s worse than never being born. Meanwhile the appetite itself never runs out, no matter how much reaches it.

From Ecclesiastes by Qoheleth
