Proverbs 9

I can never quite grasp whether this is a parable or an allegory (I believe it is the latter). The writter pictures two women seated on the highest point of the city. They are both calling out to the simple and those lacking [common] sense. But that is where the similarity of these two women stop. Their messages are on the extremes of the scales of morality. Wisdom speaks of fearing God while Folly speak about satisfying self. Wisdom's words will multiply the days of the life for those who heed her words. Folly's instructions lead down a wide and easy path; a path the goes quickly to the grave. So who would listen to Folly? I know that I have listened way too many times.
It took me about 2 minutes to read this chapter.
