Ecc 1:18 | MHM | STEP | v. 18 : He ends by saying, For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow (Ecclesiastes 1:18 ). The more we know, the more we see what is wrong in the world. Wisdom brings responsibility and sometimes sadness, because it shows us the limits of what people can do. Only God can give real peace and joy.
