Daniel 5
The son, Belshazzar, had the same issues as his father. He did not learn from his father's mistakes. Do you learn from the mistakes of others?
I heard a saying once. Goes something like this, we can either learn lessons from the pain of our own experience or the wisdom of others. It is much easier to learn the lessons from others, we just don't seem to believe the lessons unless we experience them ourselves.

When I think of Daniel, I only remember the story of the Lion's den. It's enlightening to see the lessons that are taught in this book! It's sad but true (as you said) that I and probably many others don't learn these lessons from the Bible - unless we have experienced them! Aren't we worshipping the gold and silver just as the king did??
