An idea from Ecclesiastes

A funeral will teach you something a party won’t, because it puts the ending in front of you honestly. A patient temper beats a proud one every time. And don’t waste time asking why things used to be better. That’s not wisdom, it’s just missing the past.

From Ecclesiastes by Qoheleth
