Rashi, on Eccl 3:12

“And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life.”

“I knew now, since the time of visitation is concealed, that there is no [other] good for man but to rejoice with his portion and to do that which is good in the sight of his Creator, as long as he lives.”
