Vanity is not vanity with Artscroll

Of all the books of the Bible, Ecclesiastes is the one which most contradicts 'the Artscroll spirit'. i.e. the spirit in which all is interpreted as 'righteous' and 'explicable' as making sense as part of God's plan. 'The spirit of Ecclesiastes is not this, is rather in the questioning and doubting mode in understanding life and experience. True there is a reconciliation in the final short- chapter where we are recommended to 'Fear God' as all we should do in this world. I view the 'Artscroll interpretation' not in the way it perhaps views itself , but rather as one of the 'seventy faces' of Torah.
