Wine Is a Mocker
Wine is a mocker and strong drink a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
Am I leaning on something to forget myself for a while, and postponing the real problem?
📝Reflection
This verse need not be read only about drink. Lean on anything that lets you briefly forget yourself, and the problem stays while only you grow blurred. A moment's escape is sweet, but waking leaves the room more disordered. Better to keep distance from what makes you lose your grip. A day faced with a clear mind is, in the end, the steadiest day.
🌱Apply It Today
When you want to escape into something today, instead face just one thing you have been postponing.
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
