Ecclesiastes 7:1-10:20

Catching up... On reading this I wonder if the writer is clinically depressed: A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter; because a sad face is good for the heart. (Ecclesiastes 7:1-3)

Whose philosophy of life is this, “A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything?” (Ecclesiastes 10:19)


Paranoia?  Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say. (Ecclesiastes 10:20)
