Ecclesiastes 7:3-5
New Living Translation

3 Sorrow is better than laughter,
    for sadness has a refining influence on us.
4 A wise person thinks a lot about death,
    while a fool thinks only about having a good time.

5 Better to be criticized by a wise person
    than to be praised by a fool.
