Always Yield

Yutang Lin


Worldlings fight with one another over profits in sight;
Even when acquired what could one truly hold for sure?
Who knows which step taken could last in the long run?
Seeing unpredictability rules one always yields to others.

Comment:

Competing as if it really matters; when acquired what would ultimately be the case? Winning or losing at one time; situations change in a blink. Who knows the consequences of this step? Why need to thrust forward to make sure of getting there? Future is unpredictable to you and me; comprehending uncertainty of results one would always yield to others.
