A Fool...

"Whatever a fool learns,
It only makes him duller.
Knowledge cleaves his head."

"For then he wants recognition,
A place before people,
A place over people."

"Let them know my work,
Let everyone look to me for direction."
'Such are his desires,
Such is his swelling pride."

"One way leads to wealth and fame,
The other to the end of the way."

"Look not for recognition
But follow the awakened
And set yourself free."

Gautama the Buddha
