Hyperstimulation results in ennervation:
Loudness leads to deafness:
Addiction to strong flavours corrupts taste.
Cruel sports make one indifferent to suffering:
Obsessional acquisition results in ruthlessness.
The wise therefore become discriminating, centred,
and learn not to follow every impulse.
Today the sad news of Robin Williams' suicide was announced.
Parts of this seem like an epitaph.
