Ecclesiastes 7:3 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to the house of feasting: for in that we are put in mind of the end of all, and the living thinketh what is to come.

Come. While at birth-day feasts (Genesis 40:20., and Matthew 14:6.) people give themselves up to joy, and cherish the idea of living long. (Calmet)
