To: All
Beware of those who themself think a good person;
for this goodness is generally manifest of a carnal desire;
often the embodiment of evil;
as a result truly a bad person is he.
 
He who thinks himself not a good person will inherently
stride through moral compulsion to make himself better;
never fooled by the pride he feels when good things result
thus ultimately a better person will emerge than those who suppose themselves good.

It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
3: Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
4: The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5: It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools. Ecclesisates 7:2 -
