The idea that Kohelet talks about is that it’s good for man to rejoice in his work , and to eat and drink. We have to realize that this is all from Hashem. The person who uses what Hashem gave him will experience happiness and joy and the sinner is the person who just accumulates wealth.
To everything there is a time, for every desire there is a time in this world. G-d is in control of these times. Man is suppost to enjoy the world and serve Hashem through this enjoyment. Hashemhas control and man has no responsibility for his actions. You might aswell enjoy your self because you have no other purpose in life, so you might as well have fun. The goal of man for the Amal is to create, make a impact, and build. The problem of Hevel is that nothing man ever creates will be perfect.
The problem of Nehena is that man has no ability to impact the world and it seems to think that the purpose is to change the world.
That's a good point! No one can change the world, but everyone has the ability to make an impact.
