“A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both of them.” – Proverb
Stone and sand weighing each are allusions to illustrate that there is no thing of no weight in this world.
Stone and sand are used to build houses. A person who does not want to lift stones and sand, then he will not be able to build his house.
Stones and sand can be collected to become merchandise. It takes a great deal of energy to be able to build it out of stone and sand in surrender to God. Life is the readiness to bear the burden; If you run from the load, it is life that becomes light – weightless.
Heartache is an attitude that is unable to bear the weight and that does not hurt others but oneself. Heartache can only be treated in the absence of cause of heartache or make this life not easily hurt.
The heartache for fools is a heavy burden even the heaviest because his foolishness will continue to hurt. Two things how to deal with fools: “the dogs barked caravan passes” or turn the fool into a wise man.
