13Better
is a poor but wise youth
than
an old but foolish king,
who
will no longer take advice.
14One
can indeed come out of prison to reign,
even
though born poor in the kingdom.
15I saw
all the living who, moving about under the sun,
follow
that youth who replaced the king;
16there
was no end to all those people whom he led.
Yet
those who come later will not rejoice in him.
Surely,
this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
The
heart of wisdom
Lies
in learning from others
Resources
of truth
From
one perspective
One
can’t see a thing clearly
It
takes many eyes
Abraham
Lincoln
Rail-splitter
to president
Not ubiquitous
Adolf could
move crowds
With personal
charisma
But not
with wisdom
Bright
leader today
Convinces
many people
To death
to morrow
Leader
qualities
Are always
insufficient
If one
lacks wisdom

Leaders often lead the masses astray by
appealing to their perceived needs.
