13

Ecclesiastes 1:16-18
16
I said to myself, Look here, I have grown much wiser than any who ruled over Jerusalem before me. My mind has absorbed great wisdom and knowledge.

But when I set my mind to understand wisdom, and also to understand madness and folly, I realized that this too was just wind chasing.

Remember: In much wisdom is much aggravation; the more knowledge, the more pain.
