If you don't bless a fool, godlessness he will call you.
The quote "If you don't bless a fool, godlessness he will call you" suggests that when someone lacks understanding or wisdom (often referred to as a "fool"), they may interpret the absence of approval or support as a challenge to their beliefs or values. In this context, "blessing" can be seen as acknowledgment or endorsement. The implication is that the fool's limited perspective may lead them to label those who do not conform to their views as lacking morality or spirituality, thus calling them "godless." This highlights the idea that foolishness can blind individuals to the complexities of others' viewpoints, resulting in misguided judgments and conflict. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of discernment in our interactions with those who may not share our insights.
