# 法苑珠林 21.58

法苑珠林 21.58

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [21.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.21.58)

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."
