Something's brewing inside my mind
In ancient times, when people had not been living in settled civilizations, things began to change in several aspects of a person's life. Besides all of the obvious physical technological advancements that took place during these times, something was brewing inside the minds of the people. What was happening was that people were beginning to ask the big question; which was simply, "why?"

You don't say!
Many scholars believe that the completed book of Proverbs comes from the time period of Judaism.
This paper objected me to suffering.
In Proverbs the wise are rewarded with better and more things, while the foolish are punished and are objected to suffering.
In proverbs the story showed that in life of wise payed off.
In his earth life he had it made many life stock, healthy and multiple kids, and much land, so being wise did pay off and did not make him suffer, except the death aspect of life.
In Trad Wisdom the txt of Job is a example of the type of wisdom.
I feel like being wise and doing god things is important but suffering eventually is non avoidable, it just life things happen, we get sick, there's deaths, and so on.

From an essay on wisdom. I wish he was trying to be ironic.
Proverbs is a book in which it puts the people responsible for their actions of both good and bad, while wisdom was thought to be a divine gift at first changed.
In Job wisdom was still present but yet not as pursued as in Proverbs on account that wisdom would not guarantee the absence of suffering.
I believe that suffering is much like the story of Job, were things happen that we cant explain or happen to people that may not have done wrong. As implied from various religious text and Christian organizations "everything happens for a reason" even if we may not understand it or know why it happened. I also believe that we should use Ecclesiastes approach on enjoying what we have as humans on Earth while we have the opportunity to do so.
