Is Conventional Wisdom Leading You Astray? The digital world is full of inspirational quotes—easy to share, easy to remember, and easy to accept as truth. But what if the wisdom we consume is shaping us in ways we don’t even realize? Solomon, one of the wisest men who ever lived, understood something profound: Ideas have consequences. What we believe about life, success, and even death shapes the story we tell with our lives. Yet, the kind of wisdom Solomon offers in Ecclesiastes 7 isn’t the kind you’ll find in your daily motivational scroll. He challenges everything we assume about happiness, legacy, and what truly matters. Why does he say things like:
"The day of death is better than the day of birth"?
"Sorrow is better than laughter"?
"The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning"?
At first glance, these words feel unsettling—maybe even offensive. But what if they hold the key to a life of deeper meaning? Let’s explore the gritty, unvarnished, battle-tested wisdom of Ecclesiastes 7 and discover how it reshapes the way we live today.
