“Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you - TopicsExpress



          

“Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you,” (Ecc. 7:21). I am reminded of something from “Voyage of the Dawn Treader” by C. L. Lewis. Lucy encounters a book of secrets and looks to see what her schoolmates really think of her. Aslan appears with a reprimanding growl and tells her some things are not hers to know. The next Ecclesiastes verse comes from the other direction, “Your heart knows that many times you yourself have cursed others”. And aren’t we glad others do not always know the thoughts we have of them? Ignorance indeed can be bliss.
