Ecclesiastes (Continued) Value of Wisdom - Ecclesiastes 12:9-10, 7:7-12, 7:19-26, 10:1-11:6, 12:11-12, 7:1-6, 7:15-18, 7:27-29

"Do not pay attention to every word people say,
     or you may hear your servant cursing you -- 
for you know in your heart
     that many times you yourself have cursed others."

This passage is actually part of my management philosophy.  There are managers who want to know everything their employees are saying about them.  I'd rather not know everything.  I only want to hear the things serious enough to bubble up to the surface.  And I'll take care of those.  So much of the rest is people dealing with stress, blowing off steam, venting.  I don't need to be overly sensitive to that.  Let people get it out while I stay above it.
