Some people easily ignore what others have to say. When Rehoboam, son of Solomon, sat on the throne his heart became arrogant and he ignored the counsel of attendants who had defended the country for a long time. He flatly refused their request to reduce the hard labor and tax burdened on the people resulting from the construction of a temple and palace at the time of the late king. As a result the people rose in rebellion and the nation was divided. We should understand well that it is very foolish to disregard what others have to say and to speak without thinking. You must be humble and careful with every single word.
