Its poetry not poison, but let me try to slip one verse by your radar screen.

18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.

BTW, I think your safe to read it without much danger of getting converted.

In other words, "ignorance is bliss". I agree with general principle, but I don't subscribe to the implication that knowledge and wisdom are bad things. I'd rather see a cold wilderness for what it is than live my life in a neurotic Disneyland fantasy simply because it seems more comfortable.

It is impossible to accomplish real things in the real world unless you are actually living in the real world.
