Chapter 75
When people go hungry,
the government’s taxes are too high.
When people become rebellious,
the government has become too intrusive.

When people become rebellious,
the government has become too intrusive.
When people begin to view death lightly,
wealthy people have too much
which causes others to starve.

Only those who do not cling to their life can save it.
================================================================
The last verse of the chapter reminds me of Lee Soon
Shin, the marine general and wartime hero that saved Chosun from Japan. He said
that those that seek to survive in battle will die but those that seek death
will survive. I do not know what he meant when he said that, but it sometimes
looks that “hypochondriacs” can tragically die earlier than alcoholics or heavy
smokers. Not that I am saying that it is okay you should become an alcoholic.
