The need for sense

Hi,

[Mishlei (Proverbs) 21:16 says: 'One who wanders from the path of sense will lie down in the place of the dead.']

"In this world, as you can see, a person who lacks sense will be ruined, for ithout understanding and the ability to analyze one will fall into ruin. And in the next world he will not achieve fortune, for this cannot be achieved without listening [to Gd's word], and listening requires sense."

(Rav Saadia Gaon to Mishlei 21:16)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
