It is quite obvious in todays world that wisdom and knowledge will make one quite unpopular, to put it mildly.

A good example is the way humans are obsessed with TV and social media.

We now absorb more news and information than ever before.

So much that it has caused the feebleminded citizens to now live in fear of an imaginary p******c.

They're spellbound and hypnotized by media indoctrination and are hopelessly lost and miseducated.

To live in fear is to live in grief and sorrow.

I think the corollary to that verse is, 'ignorance is bliss'. The less one knows, the less there is to wonder about.
