1Having a good reputation MTY is better than fine perfume, and the day that we die is better than the day that we are born.
2It is better to go to a house where people are mourning about someone who has died than to go to a house where people are feasting, because everyone will die some day, and people who are alive should think seriously IDM about that.
3It is better to be sad than to be always laughing, because being sad can cause us to think more about how we should conduct our lives IDM.
4Wise people who go to where others are mourning think about the fact that some day they also will die, but foolish people PRS do not think about that; they are always MTY laughing.
5It is better to pay attention to someone who is wise rebuking you than to listen to the songs of a foolish person.
6By listening to foolish people laughing we will not learn any more than by listening to the crackling of thorns being burned under a pot. Listening to fools is senseless.
