The words of
Solomon represent the wisdom of the ages, and their truth does not depend on
whether you believe in God.
This is what
he says about laughter in Ecclesiates 7, verses 3 to 12:
Sorrow is
better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made
better.
The heart of
the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of
mirth.
It is better
to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools. For
as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this
also is vanity.
Surely
oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
Better is
the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is
better than the proud in spirit.
Be not hasty
in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
Say not
thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou
dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
Wisdom is
good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
For wisdom
is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that
wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

opinion, she did a bloody good job. Let me know what you think of this video

🔰Be Kind
by Charles Bukowski
we are always asked
to understand the other person's
viewpoint
no matter how
out-dated
foolish or
obnoxious.
one is asked
to view
their total error
their life-waste
with
kindliness,
especially if they are
aged.
but age is the total of
our doing.
they have aged
badly
because they have
lived
out of focus,
they have refused to
see.
not their fault?
whose fault?
mine?
I am asked to hide
my viewpoint
from them
for fear of their
fear.
age is no crime
but the shame
of a deliberately
wasted
life
among so many
deliberately
wasted
lives
is.

there’s a
bluebird in my heart that
wants to get
out
but I’m too
tough for him,
I say, stay
in there, I’m not going
to let
anybody see
you.
there’s a
bluebird in my heart that
wants to get
out
but I pour
whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette
smoke
and the
whores and the bartenders
and the
grocery clerks
never know
that
he’s
in there.
there’s a
bluebird in my heart that
wants to get
out
but I’m too
tough for him,
I say,
stay down,
do you want to mess
me up?
you want to
screw up the
works?
you want to
blow my book sales in
Europe?
there’s a
bluebird in my heart that
wants to get
out
but I’m too
clever, I only let him out
at night
sometimes
when
everybody’s asleep.
I say, I
know that you’re there,
so don’t be
sad.
then I put
him back,
but he’s
singing a little
in there, I
haven’t quite let him
die
and we sleep
together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it’s
nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I
don’t
weep, do
you?
