Some thoughts
I think that this book can seem a bit Nihlistic, I have chosen to leave Vanity as vanity because I think it means more than meaningless. I think the vanity spoke of by Solomon had a twinge of pride, a vainglory. I also think Vexation of the spirit refers to trying to tick the spirit into not feeling sorrow. I know that I throw myself into works to escape the ennui feeling. I wanted to use the word Ennui but did not know if it was a word many people would know. I often replaced knowledge with insight, because I am sure he did not mean trivia. --SamF 15:55, 19 January 2010 (EST)
