21.58

有子有財 愚唯汲汲 我且非我
何有子財 暑當止此 寒當止此
愚多預慮 莫知來變 愚蒙愚蔽
自謂我智 愚而稱智 是謂極愚

"Having children and having wealth, / The fool is only ever anxious. / 'I' myself am not even mine, / How could there be children or wealth? / 'In heat I shall stay here; / In cold I shall stay here.' / The fool makes many advance plans, / Knowing nothing of coming changes. / Ignorant and obscured by folly, / He calls himself wise. / Being foolish yet claiming wisdom— / This is called the utmost folly."
