wolfbiblemoonYou have to say your vows to God in just the right way otherwise you are a fool and it would have been better if you hadn't vowed at all.
You shouldn't be surprised by corruption in the government because there's corruption all the way up.
Rich people can't sleep because they always want more money and goods, they are also unhappy because the money they collected won't serve them after they're dead (it's true). And of course the only possible way to enjoy your life is through God, because he will keep you from dwelling on your own mortality.
More about not being able to enjoy life especially as everything that will happen has been worked out by God already, and you can't argue with your fate. So he already knows that I'll not be turning Christian after reading the bible.
It is wiser to mourn every person's inevitable death than to celebrate births and feasts.
You shouldn't look back at the past and the "good old days" because it is not wise.
You should enjoy times of prosperity and realise that God has a reason for everything that happens when you face adversity, isn't that the time when you should realise that if there is a God then he must be some kind of sadist for planning every horrible act and event on this planet.
Wow, what a revelation (which is apparently an enigma), sometimes good people die young and wicked people live a long time, so it's not worth being really really good at the hope of living a long time because you'll be disappointed.
Don't listen to people too much or you might hear them saying something mean about you.
Life & everything that happens on Earth is too complex for humans to ever understand, really?
OK, more misogyny, one man in a thousand is upright, but not one single woman.
Your king can do whatever he wants, he can't be questioned, and obeying him will protect you from harm (unless he sent you to war or something...)
