Make sure you read the Apocrypha. You would fund that Ecclesiasticus is Ecclesiastes without the pessimism. Bear in mind that this is a translation from the original Hebrew by the grandson of the author.

There is no pessimism in Ecclesiates. We can thank the Latin mistranslation for any pessimism we've been led to perceive.
