——& lt; Lao Tzu > Chapter 12
Translation:
Five colors are dazzling; Five tones make people's hearing fail; The five flavors make the population difficult to distinguish;
Addicted to hunting, it makes people crazy;
Rare goods make people behave badly.
Therefore, saints only seek enrichment, not dazzling, so they abandon the temptation of material desires and attach importance to inner satisfaction.
Excessive indulgence in the senses can lead to happiness and pain.
