Tao Te #46 ~ materialism
ะค
When the world knows DivineUnity
galloping steeds fertilize the fields
When the world lacks good governance
war horses trample the countryside
no pain is harsher than discontent
no greater curse than getting what you want
the worst crimes stem from greed
is the Pyrrhic victory, victory indeed?
vast wealth is often borne through a crime
can a materialist ever be satisfied
Know when enough is enough
and you will always have enough
