The bitter lesson
Jul 21, 2024
The ego says there’s something better
Better than the home you are in
Better than your friend
Better than your lover
The ego will lead you astray
To leave your home
To leave your friend
To leave your lover
And following the ego
Make the home worse than the home you are in
Worse than your friend
Worse than your lover
The bitter lesson will lead you astray
Beware of the ego
Be present
Be humble
That’s the bitter lesson.
