全新四年樂活讀經
W2 2013-10-15 傳道書10
10:1 死蒼蠅使做香的膏油發出臭氣；這樣，一點愚昧也能敗壞智慧和尊榮。
10:2 智慧人的心居右；愚昧人的心居左。
10:3 並且愚昧人行路顯出無知，對眾人說，他是愚昧人。
10:4 掌權者的心若向你發怒，不要離開你的本位，因為柔和能免大過。
10:5 我見日光之下有一件禍患，似乎出於掌權的錯誤，
10:6 就是愚昧人立在高位；富足人坐在低位。
10:7 我見過僕人騎馬，王子像僕人在地上步行。
默想: 傳道者根據他多年的見識、經驗，提出社會中，許多奇怪的現象。，其中一項就是「愚昧人得勢」，他們在這個社會中位居高位，但是許多賢能的人反而只能屈居低位。這樣的社會其實是一種不穩定的現象，為什麼小人會當道呢？往往是掌權者所造成的，掌權者，可能親信小人，偏執偏聽、擔心別人的才能比他強，或是他重視關係勝於能力，所以，造成小人當道，無能者橫行。事實上，這樣的事，在歷史上不只一次出現中，以前沒有少過，到了民主時代也沒有斷絕過。這也可以說是組織、社會的悲哀啊！
