We suggest you turn to the Tao Teh Ching:
53. Difficult Paths With but a small understanding One may follow the Way like a main road, Fearing only to leave it; Following a main road is easy, Yet people delight in difficult paths. When palaces are kept up Fields are left to weeds And granaries empty; Wearing fine clothes, Bearing sharp swords, Glutting with food and drink, Hoarding wealth and possessions - These are the ways of theft, And far from the Way. -- tr. P. Merel
