Ecclesiastes 7:15-29
In this meaningless life of mine, I have seen both of these: the righteous perishing in their righteousness, and the wicked living long in their wickedness.
Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise— why destroy yourself? Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool— why die before your time?
Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.
Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.
Do not pay attention to every word people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you— for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.
“Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things— while I was still searching but not finding—I found one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them all.
This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes.”
Qoheketh observes another of life's anomalies: there are good people who die young, and wicked people who grow old in their wickedness.
Everything is brought to the test of wisdom, but life will not add up. God is not to blame: there is nothing wrong with how God made us. Our troubles are all of our own makings.
Why?
The one righteous man is Jesus Christ only.
So many things we don't know why but I believed that the Lord knows and he makes everything good for even the evildoers can make God's plan successful.
We should do everything in righteousness but do not make extremes. For there is no one on earth who is righteous. All of the men have sinned in their hearts.
God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes, for people are looking for their flesh satisfaction.

前面說:智慧勝過產業
作者想要用智慧來解決生活問題,但是人已經被罪惡所捆綁。問題變複雜
義與惡都被人利用了。行義過份也不好,即加添許多義行,自逞智慧,要做給人看,想要掩飾自己的惡,這不是真正的義,如正義魔人,利用義行來犯罪,傲慢的罪。行惡過份是指對自己和別人作惡都覺得沒有關係。做錯事找理由,用巧計,為惡行合理化。例如說這是歷史的共業,男人共同的錯。
人真正的問題是世上沒有義人。人最常在說話中犯罪。不要在意別人說什麼? 因為我們常常也是如此在說別人。男人中義人只有一個,是指人數非常少的比喻。

How?
Doing everything do not hush to say and to do but avoid all extremes.
