If a man is crossing a river and an empty boat collides with his own, even though he might be a bad tempered man, he will not become very angry. But if he sees a man in a boat, he will shout at him to steer clear and if the shout is not heard, he will shout again, and yet again, and begin cursing. And all because there is somebody in the boat. Yet if the boat was empty, he would not be shouting and will not be angry.
If you can empty your own boat, crossing the river of the world, no one will oppose you and no one will seek to harm you.
