A short monologue (YouTube video) reflecting on Ecclesiastes: the speaker cites passages that describe work as grievous and meaningless, highlighting a dichotomy between mankind and work and suggesting the persistence of toil and anxious striving.
The very next chapter. Well, it's in the next. In Ecclesiastes. So I hated life because the work that is done under the sun was grievous. To me, all of it is meaningless. And chasing after the winds. What does a man really get for all the toil and anxious striving with which he labors under the sun? All his days, his work is pain and grief. Even at night, his mind does not rest. This, too, is meaningless. So you got the same guy. And so. And it presents a very, you know, dichotomous relationship between mankind and work.
