For the sake of a little pleasure !
AN OLD TEACHING
Do not be distracted because of little pleasures.
A number of flies were attracted to a
jar of honey which had been overturned in a housekeeper’s room, and
placing their feet on it, ate greedily. Their feet, however, became so
smeared with the honey that they could not use their wings, nor release
themselves, and were suffocated. Just as they were expiring, they
exclaimed, “O foolish creatures that we are, for the sake of a little
pleasure we have destroyed ourselves.”
Pleasure brought with pains, hurts.
Aesop’s Fables written in B.C.
Looking around, I think! ~ Is this what we have all done?
