Pride

Man is like a monkey. He finds a stick and hits the ground with it. Each time he hits the ground the world moves…

He finds a hole and throws a stone in it. Water burst out in waves…

He takes his stick and his stone and as he beats them together the world vibrates with cavernous clamor…

Filled with pride. The monkey stands straight up and cries with all his might “the world is mine !”

Yet he still fails to see he is standing on the back of a whale.

One more bite is never wise

An empty stomach craves for more than it needs for it is scared to never feed again. Doing so it wastes the food and convulses in pain.

An empty man asks for more than it needs for it scared to never get again. Doing so he begs his master and convulses like a child.

A thirsty man will try and drink the sea for he needs ever more. Doing so he will burn every ship in the sea including his own.

Refraining from taking one to many step is the hardest challenge of all. For that reason, the master takes no step.
