名与身孰亲？身与货孰多？得与亡孰病？
Fame or your life — which is closer?
Your life or your goods — which is worth more?
Gain or loss — which is the sickness?
甚爱必大费，多藏必厚亡。
The more you love a thing, the more it costs you.
The more you store up, the more you lose.
知足不辱，知止不殆，可以长久。
Know when you have enough, and you are not shamed.
Know when to stop, and you are not in danger.
Then you can last.
Reading it
Three questions, no answers given — because the reader already knows and is avoiding it. Then two laws, stated flatly. "The more you love a thing, the more it costs" is not a moral warning; it is an accounting fact. Attachment has a running cost that does not appear on any invoice until it is collected. The last two lines give the only exit — not less desire, but a defined stopping point.
Name the number. For one thing you are chasing, write down what "enough" would actually be.
