Those on Tiptoe Don't Stand Up

Those on tiptoe don't stand up,
those who take long strides don't walk;
those who see themselves are not perceptive,
those who assert themselves are not illustrious;
those who glorify themselves have no merit,
those who are proud of themselves do not last.
On the Way, these are called overconsumption
and excess activity.
Some people disdain them,
those with the Way abstain.
