貪得 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

顧此失彼乃常情,貪得頓忘計所失;
持盈保泰豈易事,妄求躍進滿盤輸。

貪得則偏私,心失清明,慮難周全,故易墮於迷妄。戒之!

Greedy for Gains Yutang Lin

It is ordinary to watch this side and lose that side.
Greedy for gains one would forget to count losses.
Keeping the good going is never easily accomplished.
Unrealistic jumps for advancement would end in ruins.

Comment:

Greedy for gains prejudices one's views. Mind would lose clarity and considerations incomplete. Consequently, it is quite easy to fall into delusions. Be aware and stay away!
