Two is better than one

Wow, i was so amazed by this verse to be found in the Bible.
Come, please turn to Ecclesiastes 4: 9-11 with me.

4:9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work;

4:10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the mann who falls down (the lonely man mentioned in verse 8) and had no one to help him up!

4:11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?


The Bible says that two is better than one because of some reason:

1. Good return - when you work in pair, (a) there are more ideas, and (b) more loads can be done in a shorter time. (c) One more thing is that your friend can cover your weaknesses by his or her good points and so the result of your work can be improved. No wonder bible says that there will be a good and better return.

2. Help - (a) If one fall down, your friend may help you up. But who will help you up when you fall down in your study or your bussiness and you are not strong enough to cope with an obstacle? You guys can help each other when you are working together.

3. Warm - Here, the bible says that if two lie down together, they will keep warm. Here I have a story to share, can you read the next paragraph before you continue reading the following sentences? Yea, do you want to be Mr. A or Mr. B? Besides this example, your friend will (b) comfort you when you are down, (c) encourage you when you are depressed, (d) rejoice with you when you are happy. If you are alone, who is gonna pull you up when you fall into the well of depression?

Small Story:

There are two people (mr. A and mr. B)walking in the snow. It is so cold that even their teeth are trembling. But they keep walking. Not far away, they see a young man lying on the snow, looks like going to die.

Mr. A: Hey, let's help him. Do you think we should take turn to carry him on back to the shelter?

Mr. B: No, we are so cold already, do you think you still have that energy to carry him? We can reach the shelter in 15 minutes if we do not carry him. But our journey may be prolonged if you are going to help him. And, I don't think we can live to stay in snow for any extra second. If you are going to do so, I do not agree and I am not going to wait for you. So, may I leave first?

So, Mr. B leaves Mr. A with the young man. However, Mr. A still insists to carry the young man. Of course Mr. A is slower than Mr. B.

Ten minutes later, Mr. A see a guy lying on the snow ground again. He is wondering how to carry two guys by himself. When he goes near and see, oh, he is Mr. B who lying down on the ground and he is found dead.

Mr. A simply pray for the dead Mr. B and continue his journey carrying the young guy.

In the end, both Mr. A and the young guy survive as they are warm when there is body contact when the young guy being carried by Mr. A.

This is what I think of when I read the verse. So, please return to the sentences where you skipped just now.

So, this is what I want to share. How do you find it? Or do you have any opinion toward the verses?
