Chapter 9
Take Nothing to excess. Do not stretch your limits. Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your blade and it will blunt. Chase after security, sensation, and power and you'll never know serenity, love, or content. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law. Love Is The Law, Love Under Will. Know your Will, do your Will, follow your Bliss. The joy is in the working. And when the work is done, let it go--the only way to true satisfaction. Know your limits, learn moderation. To exceed beyond a natural limit will weaken or destroy the efficient usefulness. Don't tempt the gods. Know when to quit. The four seasons rotate, each, when its work is done, moves on. Beware of the edge.
