Fool vs. Man

"The foot of a fool rushes into a house, but a man of experience stands respectfully before it. A boor peers into the house from the door, but a cultivated man remains outside. It is ill-mannered for a man to listen at a door, and a discreet man is grieved by the disgrace." Sirach 21:22-24

It strikes me that this parallels a man courting a woman. The fool will try to reach inside her beauty and strive to gain entrance to her, emotionally and physically. But a man who has experience of God will stand respectfully before her. If she knows her dignity and keeps him outside and her door closed, then the fool will peer into her and listen at the door to try to gain entrance to her heart and being. But a good man will remain outside, and be grieved by any other man attempting to force his entry. The good man is like a sentry, guarding her door for her rather than trying to force his way in.
