Ecclesiastes 7:2-4

2It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.

3Frustration is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart.

4The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
