Ecclesiastes 6:3-5

3A man might have a hundred children and live to be very old. But if he finds no satisfaction in life and doesn’t even get a decent burial, it would have been better for him to be born dead.

4His birth would have been meaningless, and he would have ended in darkness. He wouldn’t even have had a name,

5and he would never have seen the sun or known of its existence. Yet he would have had more peace than in growing up to be an unhappy man.
