Proverbs is Crazy

I hope everybody has checked out the book of Proverbs. It's written by the wisest man to ever have lived (Well, Jesus was wiser), King Solomon.

This book is great for readers with short attention spans. Verses are basically tips on how to live a wise life. Most chapters just have tip after tip: No plot, no storyline, no characters. This book dominates every other "How to" book out there.

One thing that amazes me is that the book obviously reflects important matters in life and how to deal with them: Godliness, work, money, charity, sex, family, discipline, debt, raising children, alcohol, politics, revenge, etc. If you want to really put things into perspective, think about what you've been stressed out about lately. Is it really that important? Think about all the topics that aren't even mentioned in Proverbs: How we look, boyfriends and girlfriends, getting that brand new item you want (car, iPod, whatever), making sure we're the best at something. Do you think the wisest man ever just forgot to mention these things in Proverbs, or maybe they're not that significant in the long run?

Hm..
