Poem Artwork

I have heard people say

A small bag cannot be made

To contain what is large;

A short rope cannot be used

To draw water from a deep well.

 

So it is, and man's appointed fate

Is determined from above,

And his body is adapted

For definite ends, so that

Neither the one nor the other

Can be augmented or diminished.

 

Hence only he who knows

That enough is enough

Will always have

An adequate amount

Of his requisites.

Great advice. We all should know our limitations and thereby not suffer the loss of exceeding them.

he who knows that enough is enough is the man of unboundedness, an equivalent of 'adequacy.' Cheers, alex
