THOUGHTS ABOUT DEATH BROUGHT BY OVER-WORK


 
THOUGHTS ABOUT DEATH CAUSED BY OVER-WORK

(A poem of natural moral wisdom)
 

The energy of a human body, far from limitless

The size of a human heart, a far distance

When a human body is able to carry ninety-nine pounds,

A human heart shall not hold a burden of a thousand

The value of life is rooted upon appropriateness

Comparing others with one’s own desire, illusionary fantasy

Wisdom intelligence does not reveal, a heart demon is rampant

Illuminate Tao, understand Te, a heroic folk
 
By Shanlin-Tzu
