more on what I learned

I find it important to remember that King David, psalms, was King Solomon's, Ecclesiateses, father. Re-reading the previous post, my notes, it's like KD is talking about KS. In XXX, 7, KD refers to the people who think that they can understand G-d's lessons/commandments without suffering, without hard work. It reminds me of KS who considered himself too smart to keep all the rules, trying to get around things, saying that even if a king isn't supposed to have lots of wives, he can, because it won't damage HIM. That he's above the law. Too smart for his own good, just like what his father warned against. I wonder how old KS was when KD wrote that psalm.
KD knew that there was no place on this world to hide.
Kohelet 9 under the sun 13 under the heavens and 14 under the sun.
What's the difference? I asked, and Nissan said that he also wondered and looked for sources and couldn't find.
Increase in knowledge is increase in pain
could it be that some times thinking "too much" asking "too many questions" will just bring more sorrow
someone I know whose parents are H survivors once said that his parents survived with full faith, because they (unlike himself) weren't terribly bright and didn't ask lots of deep questions about what was happening

KD seemed to get through his crises stronger, unlike KS who never fully recovered. Maybe because KD had to take more responisbility for himself from a young age. Being a prince has its drawbacks.
KD has more of Yehuda, admitting mistakes and thanking G-d. Even the story with Batsheva (KS's mother). I've been convinced for years, from the pshat (text) that it was Batsheva who initiated contact, seduced him, by bathing where he could see. KD was no peeping Tom. Like Tamar with Yehuda. It took Yehuda a while to take responsibility, while KD is the only one blamed, except by me. There's a whole pattern chain of seductive women leading up to KS. Don't forget Ruth and Boaz and Leah and Yaakov.
