Ecclesiastes 7:2-4 It is better to go to a home where there is mourning than to one where there is a party, because the living should always remind themselves that death is waiting for us all.It is better to go to a funeral than to a banquet because that is where everyone will end up. Everyone who is alive should take this to heart!Sorrow is better than laughter, because sober reflection is good for the heart.For the wise person thinks carefully when in mourning, but fools focus their thoughts on pleasure.The minds of wise people think about funerals, but the minds of fools think about banquets.
