Proverbs is one of the books of the bible filled with words of wisdom, we should read it and try to adjust our lives as best as we can.

Those who are childlike refuse to put away childish things (I Corinthians 13:11). Those who cast premature judgments and condemnations continue in their paths. The ignorant hate to learn.

There is a vast wealth of information to be learned and had. People are just deaf to it or simply refuse it.
