How often do we look back and think that the 'old days' were much better than today? I know we do it more often than we realise. Now in today's scripture Solomon argues that we shouldn't do this. He says:
"Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?”
For it is not wise to ask such questions." - Ecclesiastes 7:10
I wonder why he suggests that we don't say this? Is it because we will keep living in the past and not enjoying the moment? Or is it because he remembers that even the 'good old days' have many problems and it is just that time has made us forget the pain of those moments? I am not sure why?
Thoughts?
