That is an important question. And again a reminder from God and it's interpreters best hold those answers.
You don't know it's true before knowing it's true. But giving different books a try, and one of them might hold all the answers you were looking for and more.
The search for wisdom is good no matter what. There is no harm in seeking wisdom.
Unless you've already made up your mind that the wisdom comes from a god. Then you have books and books of tripe that people call wisdom. If you are wise enough, you see what a child's game religion really is.
