When Solomon wrote Proverbs he may have done so retrospectively and even in intense introspective state of being when the mind reconnected his intention and action to make sense in the grand scheme of cosmic conditions of right conditions on its terms and timing, kind of like securing the stable after the horse galloped to gallivanting gardens. Therefore, Wisdom never fail him especially since scripture states that he had already asked for discernment when he became king.
I strongly sense that he used his life experiences to prepare his son so that the son is free to make his very own choices.
Oh well, insight always knows how to intervene.
This is just what I feel the turn of events have made me decide to do.
Opted out of the school of strict protocol called academia for a while so I can opt in to the school of practical, everyday living experience where graduation day in never a mentioned milestone and the lesson are live, direct and to the point. They both offer Fine Arts. The choice is to discern which one is the elective; which one is the major.
One is a lifeline- full of detours, bruisers, timeouts, disguised blessings and constantly in an instant, with a teacher who plans the program and provides the resources.
One is a deadline- loaded with interest charges, constant-lifelong upgrading, heavy workloads of theoretical calibre, with a teacher who offers the program and loans the resources.
Both are necessary. Again it is a matter of knowing which one is the major and which one is an elective.
Knowing the difference helped me to refocus my perspective. Were it not for Ecclesiastes’ no nonsense-tell it like it is from both sides of the fence, I would still be chasing the wind or maybe by now I’d be out of breath and a stone would take my place!
