Wakefulness

“If by forsaking a small pleasure one finds great joy, he who is wise will look to the greater and leave what is less. He who seeks happiness for himself by making others unhappy is bound in the chains of hate and from those he cannot be free. By not doing what should be done and by doing what should not be done, the sinful desires of proud and thoughtless men increase. By those who are ever careful of their actions, who do not what should not be done, are those who are watchful and wise and their sinful desires come to an end” – From The Dhammapada

(Excerpt from the translated version of Juan Mascaro and published as a Penguin Classic by Penguin Publishers.)
