Fullness

As I was reading poems from TAO, the poem on page 15 caught my eye. “Those who sustain TAO/ do not wish to be full/ Because they do not wish to be full/ They can fade away/ Without further effort.” It really stuck out to me because I feel the need to be full all the time. Whether it be filling my appetite for hungry, touch, love, or a good grade. In my opinion it almost seems like they are saying since when we die, we leave with nothing, if I try not to fill myself with earthly things I can die in peace.
