Qoheleth Haiku 4:5-6

 
 
5Fools fold their hands
and consume their own flesh.
6Better is a handful with quiet
than two handfuls with toil,
and a chasing after wind.
 
Life best in balance
The golden mean lies between
Too much and too little
 
One who will not work
Cannot meet physical need
Therefore meets no needs
 
Equilibrium
Living life in the middle
Meeting all one’s needs
 
Theory of enough
Avoid greed and hopelessness
Is adequacy
 
Inadequacies
Those who will not work at all
Those who work to much
 
The human psyche
Shaped by cultural context
Chooses the extremes
 
Equilibrium
Exists only a moment
If it is at all
