But some things draw us to
love the world, others to condemn it. The lust of the flesh, the lust of the

miseries, that justly follow them, cause a hatred of the world and a disgust
thereof. (CIoC)

The Song of
Solomon
is an interesting book written by a Jewish King who grew up in a dysfunctional
family.
