Answer to the question in Ecclesiastes 6:8. This is the advantage:
Better is the sight of the eyes—the wise man's godly enjoyment of present seen blessings
than the (fool's) wandering—literally, walking (Psalms 73:9), of the desire, that is, vague, insatiable desires for what he has not (Ecclesiastes 6:7; Hebrews 13:5).
this—restless wandering of desire, and not enjoying contentedly the present (I Timothy 6:6, I Timothy 6:8).
