19For
the fate of humans and the fate of animals is the same;
as one dies, so dies the other.
They all have the same breath,
and humans have no advantage over the
animals;
for all is vanity.
It is realism
And not pessimism
It’s the way it is
Our nearest kin
Animal kingdom brothers
Share a common fate
Life common to all
The breath of life that we breathe
Then we all expire
Did Qoheleth see
The grave as the end of life
Or life after life
Why a moral life
If this life is all there is
It is the best life
Does pessimism
Lead one to ultimate despair
Or optimism
