COT: Ecclesiastes 7 talks about death being better than happiness. Less than 100 years ago death was a common occurrence, now due to modern medicine at least in the US death is not discussed but instead what makes you happy or satisfied. Unfortunately nothing will truly satisfy, find something greater than you that will satisfy whether religion or something else.
