DAY 299
Five Marks of a Fool
기원후 3~12세기경 편찬(구전 격언시)
ORIGINAL
गर्वो दुर्वचनं क्रोधः स्वजनस्यावमाननम् । विवादश्च विनीतैश्च मूर्खस्य पञ्च चिह्नानि ॥ (garvo durvacanaṃ krodhaḥ svajanasyāvamānanam, vivādaśca vinītaiśca mūrkhasya pañca cihnāni)
📜 THE VERSE
Pride, harsh speech, anger, belittling one's own people, and quarreling even with the humble — these five are the marks of a fool.
💡 TL;DR
Foolishness here is drawn not as ignorance but as a matter of attitude.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Of these five marks, did any quietly show up in me today?
📝Reflection
Foolishness here is drawn not as ignorance but as a matter of attitude. One is a fool not for lack of knowledge, but for being proud, harsh, angry, dismissive toward those close to them, and quarrelsome even with the gentle. What makes this list useful is that it gives us a concrete standard for checking ourselves.
