Solomon's dirge of negativism proceeds just the same in chapter 6 as he decries people having wealth which others end up benefitting from which he sees as meaningless and a "grievous evil". A man may have a 100 children and live long, yet he will not enjoy his prosperity. He says that even if a rich man lives 2 millenniums he will always fail to enjoy his prosperity because death will always end everything. He says that everything is meaningless with no advantage for a wise man over a fool. For "whatever exists has been pre-ordained and it's no good arguing about it with God who is stronger than us."
