Ecclesiastes 7:2-4
Excerpted from: Psalm Genres (Part Four): Laments

So essentially Solomon is saying here that we learn or we understand or grow so much more from the woes that we suffer than in the good times. In the good times food is plentiful, drink is flowing, laughter is all around. We are just joyous because everything is going so well. But those things actually just distract us and do not teach us very much. It is when times get hard and you have to really sit down and think things through that we begin to learn about life, about ourselves, about our goals, even the big questions like why are you here and that sort of thing. It makes us take a moment and think things through.
