In Proverbs 18 we read:
1 Loners who care only for themselves
spit on the common good.
The Lord called everyone to be part of a church e not live a lonely life, however, it is very difficult to live in communion. The Lord wants that a lonely person (like me) cares for others.
12 Pride first, then the crash,
but humility is precursor to honor.
15 Wise men and women are always learning,
always listening for fresh insights.
The humble is the one who listens and are always learning while the proud has not fresh insights.
18 You may have to draw straws
when faced with a tough decision.
There are moments when we are stuck and we need to take a decision. In some cases it is advisable to play dice instead of getting stuck.
21 Words kill, words give life;
they’re either poison or fruit—you choose.
Let the words of my mouth bless others.
23 The poor speak in soft supplications;
the rich bark out answers.
The poor begs for help. The Lord bless the humble and poor.
24 A person of too many friends comes to ruin,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
The one who seeks to be popular (as in a social network) has a bad purpose in life; instead, he should look for real friends.
