16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
What does this really mean? I searched about it today, asked God to teach me about it .
I searched online commentary and read about this
"Yet this Searcher kept on, despite the increasing frustration that the more he knew the more he knew he did not know. At the close of his life, Isaac Newton said, "I have been paddling in the shallows of a great ocean of knowledge." He too felt the frustration of not being able to encompass more". Ray Stedman
This book is written when Solomon has a corrected mind from his past wrong doings.

In Conclusion, I felt that no matter how much we know about life, there are still things that we do not exactly know fully, so don't stop learning from God and don't feel bad if you don't know a lot of things.
Living Only for Him and Only He knows my life
