People cling to their worldly possessions
and selfish passions so blindly
as to sacrifice their own lives for them.
They are like a child who
tries to eat a little honey
smeared on the edge of a knife.
The amount is by no means sufficient
to appease his appetite,
but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
