Abstract

The more wisdom one has, the more pleasures one obtains. The same applies to good actions. Property or wealth can be lost, but not wisdom. However, pure happiness is impossible in the world. There is relativism and dialectic in human behavior. Trusting in God, but incomprehensible, as we cannot trust in a world that is mostly absurd and full of contradictions.
