What You Are Not Born For
You are not born to be greedy,
which will harm yourself.
If generous, you will help others too.
You are not born to be hateful,
which will harm yourself.
If compassionate, you will help others too.
You are not born to be deluded,
which will harm yourself.
If wise, you will help others too.
