The being and the becoming
What we acquire of course is valuable. But, the greatest value is not what we acquire. The greatest value is what we become.
Beware of what you become in pursuit of what you want. Don’t sell out. Don’t sell out your principles. Don’t compromise your values. Because you might acquire something by doing so, but it won’t taste good.
An old prophet said, “sometimes what tastes good in the mouth finally turns bitter in the belly.” Then, later we regret that we compromised or that we did something incredibly wrong to acquire something. It’s not worth it. If we do that, then what we get is worthless.
