1 A good name is better than fine perfume,
and the day of death better than the day of birth.

But, it doesn't say that. It says the day of death is better than the day of birth.

Think about the whole message Solomon shares in the Book of Ecclesiastes from the point of view of a man who has clearly lost his way.

If you just think about it for a little bit you will understand from a spiritual perspective, a newborn has not experienced the sin and degradation of this world, but as he/she lives and grows those experiences comes upon him and do not stop until the day of death.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6, 1984 NIV)

For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. (John 5:26, 1984 NIV)

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:3-4, 1984 NIV)
