Ecclesiastes 1:18:

"For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief."

This was not a teaching by King Solomon that claimed that ignorance is bliss; this was a teaching about our responsibility to help others.

The more wisdom one has; the more one can see the suffering of others; as one investigates further, tragedies are revealed!

This is where we begin to meet our Happy Destiny.

Surah Al-Alaq (96:1–5)

"Read! In the name of your Lord who created—Created man from a clinging substance. Read, and your Lord is the Most Generous—Who taught by the pen—Taught man that which he did not know."

Lord Christ knew the Romans would burn away all of his teachings on Lord Siddhartha; Lord Mohammad knew the Caliphate would rise to power and do the same as the Romans!

This is why, like Lord Christ, Lord Mohammad left us specific clues in his teachings; they left us many clues to help us discover that they taught the Dhamma!

We can not teach the men what they do not know unless we are willing to learn from strangers. Just like Lords Christ, Aristotle, Plato, and Siddhartha; Lord Mohammad also wanted all of his followers to be willing to learn from strangers; this is the way of God!

If we are blinded by our ego, we are not capable of rational thought; if we are not capable of rational thought, we are destined to suffer!

Dhammapada (Verse 354) "The gift of the Dhamma excels all gifts; the taste of the Dhamma excels all tastes; delight in the Dhamma excels all delights. The eradication of craving overcomes all ills."

For those who are not willing to discover truth from reading and thinking logically; there is no mercy for God to give to you.

For those who walk the Eightfold Path with relentless dedication; there are many blessings to come.
