Manuel Fernandez“When the court is arrayed in splendor,
The fields are full of weeds,
And the granaries are bare.” (Chapter 53)
Consider a homeowner who only focuses on the interior of their house while neglecting the exterior; the outside becomes overgrown with weeds. Similarly, when workers cater to the wealthy indoors, the fields remain unharvested. Balance the time spent on splendor and work. Strive for equilibrium and live according to the way of Tao.
