Two mentalities: A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes, but a person of understanding delights in wisdom
We face life according to how we can do it, we do things according to what seems most logical to us: "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes" Proverbs 21:2. We all make use of reason, but the reason has a focus, we worship life or we worship death. That is why there is a destructive, selfish, unjust, chaotic way of acting; and there is another way of living that is uplifting, progressive, and benevolent. And these two mentalities or logics of thought are mutually exclusive, that is, where one is imposed, the other is eliminated: "He who has a deceitful heart finds no good" Proverbs 17:20.
Expressing ideas correctly, there are no behavioral disorders, righteousness and sin are behavioral strategies, the one that is destructive hides itself, while the one that is upright shows itself as it is, we build walls or we build bridges. For the upright, the thought of the wicked is twisted, and for the wicked, wisdom is madness and nonsense. And these ways of being, these mentalities, also hide a joy, that is, a pleasure in their development or expression, for which they tend to be stable over time; the wicked and the wise usually do not feel regret for their logic. This is why the book of proverbs tells us about the wicked and the righteous: "A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes, but a person of understanding delights in wisdom" Proverbs 10:23.
Jesus gives us a very practical example on this subject, the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37), the priest sees his neighbor hurt on the side of the road, and he says to himself, am I going to worry about his life when I have to do mine? and keep going. On the other hand, the Samaritan is moved by the situation and comes to the aid of his neighbor, he also, like the priest, has to make his own life, but that does not mean that we cannot help others. Two mentalities, two paths, two rewards.
