Rushing headlong,
missing what’s essential,
bringing on one new bond
after another,
they fall, like insects into a flame:
those intent
on things seen,
things heard.

Ud 6:9 Rushing (Upāti Sutta) - translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Rushing headlong,
missing what’s essential,
bringing on one new bond
after another,
they fall, like insects into a flame:
those intent
on things seen,
things heard.
