The author criticizes TV weathermen for celebrating sunny days during droughts, showing ignorance of agriculture’s need for rain. He uses this as an example of modern foolishness—judging everything by personal comfort rather than truth or necessity. Proverbs warns that fools are dangerous and self-centered, unwilling to learn or listen, even to God. In short: there’s been a shortage of rain, but no shortage of fools.

Modern education wrongly assumes children are naturally good and just need encouragement. But Scripture teaches that children are born with foolishness in their hearts and need correction to grow in character (Prov. 22:15). When discipline is abandoned, immaturity and rebellion flourish. The result is a culture where childishness is idealized, maturity is despised, and rebellion spreads—against parents, faith, law, and order. True growth requires discipline, not indulgence.

Prejudice isn't always wrong—it simply means judging in advance. Wise people make godly prejudgments, like avoiding known evil. But unfair prejudice, judging by appearance, popularity, or wealth, is condemned in Scripture. Exodus warns against siding with the majority, the poor, or the rich out of bias. Instead, we’re called to judge righteously, based on truth, not appearances.
