Read Ecclesiastes Chapter 7.

Ecclesiastes 7: 1 Fame is better than fine ointment; The day of death is better than the day of life.

Ecclesiastes 7:2 It is better to go to a house of weeping than to a house of feasting. Because death is the end of everything, the living will take it to heart.

Ecclesiastes 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter; Because a sad face will eventually make the heart happy.

Ecclesiastes 7:4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; A fool's heart is in a happy family.

Meditate:

Is it annoying? Are you kidding? !

7: 1-4 seems to contradict Solomon's previous suggestion, because he once suggested that people enjoy the food and drink God has given them and the satisfaction they get from their work. Although we should enjoy everything we have as much as possible, we should also be aware that adversity will come suddenly. These troubles remind us that life is short, teach us to live wisely and exercise our character. Greeks and Romans despised suffering, while eastern religions sought ways to transcend it, but Christianity and Judaism recognized the value of suffering and regarded it as a fire of judgment. Most people agree that they know God better in suffering than in happiness. What did you do to avoid sadness and pain? You should regard suffering as an opportunity for learning given by God.
