Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.Both of tonight's passages point to the virtue of humility. When we do not seek power over others or to try to prove that we are better than anyone else, we gain a richness in spirit.
~ King James version ~
Sages do not accumulate
The more they assist others, the more they possess
The more they give to others, the more they gain
~ from Tao Te Ching, Verse 81 ~
