Chapter 75
Materialism
a
People suffer from famine
Because their rulers enforce heavy taxation
That is why they starve
b
People are difficult to govern
Because their rulers interfere too much
That is why they are difficult to govern
People think little of death
c
Because their rulers demand too much of life
That is why they think little of death
The treasures of life are gained by those who let go
d
And missed by those who hold on
