Spiritual truth: Everyone comes naked from their mother's womb, and as everyone comes, so they depart. Ecclesiastes 5:15

Ecclesiastes is a book written by a wise man, probably King Solomon, who was the author of several sapiential books, in this book the wise man reflected on many things of the everyday life, the search for pleasure, happiness, wealth, and the moderate enjoyment of the goods in life.
And about all these things the wise concluded an important spiritual teaching: "A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?" Ecclesiastes 2:24-25.
Because the human condition continued in his thought the wise man, it is the same for everyone, whether the man is rich or poor, wise or foolish. We will all be judged by God and we will leave all the effort we have made to others.
How useless the wise man expressed, it is greed and the constant search for wealth; greed is like drinking salt water from the sea, thirst never stops:
"Whoever loves money never has enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
This too is meaningless" Ecclesiastes 5:10.
Because in the end, the wise man said there is a spiritual truth, as we come into the world we also leave:
"Everyone comes naked from their mother's womb,
and as everyone comes, so they depart.
They take nothing from their toil
that they can carry in their hands.
This too is a grievous evil:
As everyone comes, so they depart,
and what do they gain,
since they toil for the wind?" Ecclesiastes 5:15-16.
The wise man spoke about the life of man in his book with a certain skepticism, because for the wise man, the man is a prey to his own vanity and the things that are temporarily offered to him. This is true to a certain extent, but it is also true that equanimity is a characteristic of wisdom.
For the wise, man must be deeply equanimous, and cultivate this virtue because there is a time for good and bad, and man, faced with a world where everything is fleeting, is never sure what his destiny will be.
