Thus I observe the measure of contentment, forsaking ambitions like drifting clouds, building a house and planting trees, free and self-possessed. The ponds suffice for fishing, the harvested grain for farming. Watering the garden and selling vegetables provides for daily meals; tending sheep and brewing cheese awaits the seasons' needs. Filial in devotion, brotherly in bonds — this too is the governance of the unskilled.
