“Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people’s approval
and you will be their prisoner.”
– Lao-tzu
There is always a downside to what you do. Think, before you do and it will save you a lot of pain (not always physical or even immediate).
