# General Information
When the author thought about the pointlessness of life, he decided to fill it with pointless pleasures. He believed that this would have no effect on the world. Therefore, he indulged in every type of pleasure. It is assumed that the author is going to reject this way of living. The ULB sets poetry (2:10-16) farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry.
# I said in my heart
Here the author refers to himself by his "heart" to emphasize his feelings. Alternate translation: "I said to myself" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
"I said to myself"
# I will test you with happiness
Here the word "you" refers to himself. The word "happiness" can be expressed as an adjective. Alternate translation: "I will test myself with things that make me happy" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
"I will test myself with things that make me happy"
# So enjoy pleasure
The word "pleasure" can be expressed as a verb. Alternate translation: "So I will enjoy things that please me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
"So I will enjoy things that please me"
# this also is meaningless
"this also only lasted for a short time, like a temporary breeze"
"this also only lasted for a short time, like a temporary breeze"
