Good and Evil

And speaking of black and white thinking... I bring you Ecclesiastes 7.

It Is Impossible to Be Truly Good

 ¹⁵ In my useless life I have seen both of these:
    I have seen good people die in spite of their goodness
       and evil people live a long time in spite of their evil.
 ¹⁶ Don't be too right,
       and don't be too wise.
       Why destroy yourself?
 ¹⁷ Don't be too wicked,
       and don't be foolish.
       Why die before your time?
 ¹⁸ It is good to grab the one and not let go of the other;
       those who honor God will hold them both.
