It is interesting that Solomon is considered one of the wisest ever and he writes, "For with much wisdom, comes more sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief." (Eccl 1:16)
With maturity I have seen this in action. The more I know about the evil that exists in the world the more grieved I am. The saying, 'ignorance is bliss' comes to my mind here as well. It is why children can be so blissfully happy because they know not of the perils that might befall them or their parents and loved ones. Each day that we live through and lay our heads to the pillow at the end unscathed is a miracle in itself.

In Ecclesiastes Solomon opens discussing how he searched for and obtained wisdom of every topic he could research and at the end he found it all meaningless. A 'chasing after the wind'. If you haven't studied the book of Ecclesiastes in it's entirety, you should. It may sound like a bit of a downer in the beginning but he has a point. He speaks about the cycle of life and how our lives are fleeting. As we try to find meaning for our individual lives and the path we ought to take the Bible is filled with answers to our questions. It is a light that guides our way. The end of Ecclesiastes sums up Solomon's wisdom and contribution to the world,
The Conclusion of the Matter
9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. 10 The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true.

11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one Shepherd. 12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them.
Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.

13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.
