Also when I read Ecclesiastes I would prefer to tear it out of the Bible, because it seems to cynical to me. But it think God allows it in the Bible to show people how cynical you can get if you give yourself over to sin (he had 1000 women or so, although Moses said that kings should have only a few women) First he was the wisest on the earth, but see what became of him... Just a cynical person.
