Tao # 9 / Extremes
Ф
Going to extremes is never wise
treasure attracts envious eyes
a bowl filled to the brim
easily spills its contents
a knife sharpened to excess
quickly dulls and loses its edge
when filling your rooms with gold
whispering of luck and the Jade you've sold
you cannot protect your miser's hoard
hubris invites its own reward
the braggart's voice is always proud
it is better to be soft than loud
do not strut your credentials
or identify yourself with titles
When you have reached your goal
be satisfied to walk away
time to take a holiday
this is truly heaven's way
