Ecclesiastes 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief, And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

I know we do strive to learn in our lives and we are taught to try hard at gaining knowledge and wisdom to make our lives better; but is it right to do so?

The answer to this is not that wisdom or knowledge is wrong, but the thirst or greed for it can be very wrong; just like the love for money is wrong, but money in itself is not.

If we spend all our energy on focusing on getting the best knowledge and wisdom into our lives we are going to fall short of the need for both and focus on the requirement of getting the best.

God wants us to learn, but not at the cost of remembering and growing with the truth.
