Solomon states that he sees an evil, people who have many gifts from God but then cannot enjoy them. When I first read this I thougth that he was saying that he found it unfair. As I thought about it though, I think what he is really saying is that if we don't take the time to appreciate what we have, it doesn't matter how good our lives are.
This makes sense to me, I have so much that I take for granted and never thank God for. Usually my unhappiness stems from not having something I desire, but if I took the time to thank God for what I did have, I would probably be even more happy than if I always got what I wanted.
