"But better off than both of them is the one who has never existed, who has never seen the evil activity that is done under the sun."

Points To Note:

1 If this life is all there is, then it would be better not to be born, then to experience the pain and suffering that this life has to offer. 2. Note, the person who hasn't been born, has never existed. Hence, the soul doesn't have. pre-existence (as taught by Mormonism). 3. If there is no life beyond this life, then the living have only the prospect of looking forward to seeing and experiencing suffering.
