"There is an evil which. have seen under the sun and it is prevalent among men"

Here is another misfortune, calamity and hardship that Solomon personally witnessed that happens under the sun. Not only that, but Solomon said, "and it is prevalent among men", i.e. common. In other words, you can see this everywhere. "Prevalent among men", can also be translated, "is heavy upon men", or weighs heavy upon men. The reason for this is that the Hebrew term translated prevalent or heavy, simply can mean much in number or degree.
