"Because the Teacher was wise, he taught the people everything he knew. He collected proverbs and classified them. Indeed, the Teacher taught the plain truth, and he did so in an interesting way.

A wise teacher's words spur students to action and emphasize important truths. The collected sayings of the wise are like guidance from a shepherd.

But, my child, be warned: There is no end of opinions ready to be expressed. Studying them can go on forever and become very exhausting!

Here is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is the duty of every person. God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad."

Ecclesiastes 12:9-14

I find this passage to be interesting because it addresses the unending chain of opinions that have been expressed for thousands of years. Opinions are a driving force behind politics and because opinions are a personal matter, they cannot be proven right or wrong. That is they cannot by man. We can debate, start wars, and end relationships over opinions but they are endless. Your actions that may be right or wrong to your own opinion will be judged one day.

Fear God and obey his commands. This is probably the easiest way to keep your path straight.
