“When the moon is full, it will be waning, when the water is full, it will overflow, and when people are full, they will be arrogant.” It talks about three natural phenomena and is a metaphor for the way people behave in the world. It is also a wise saying left by the Taoist ancestors.

Only those who are neutral, respectful, and open-minded can embrace all rivers, embrace everything, and, over time, continue to move towards the ideal kingdom of the soul.
