Benefit: If I were to ask you what the difference is between the miserable and the happy, you might think that the happy person is always smiling and never tired, while the miserable one is always sad and tired. The benefit is that the answer is no. The happy person learns from the mistakes of others, while the miserable one learns only from their own. You might see the happy person enjoying themselves, but they are actually drowning in misery. Thank you. O God, increase us in beneficial knowledge. Amen.
