Thorns Will Grow
Translation by Tree Buffalo
Those in touch with Nature do not use weapons to help their leaders dominate the world.
Such actions usually backfire.
Because in the places where armies camp, briars and thorns will grow.
And after great battles, lean harvests appear.
Excellent resolution is about stopping, not presuming dominance.
Have resolutions without boasting.
Have resolutions without pride.
Have resolutions without benefitting.
Have resolutions without dominating.
Because to overgrow then decay, is unnatural.
And things that act unnatural, come to an early end.
