Tao Te Ching 3 (First Paragraph)

Tao Te Ching 3 (First Paragraph)
If you over-esteem great men,
People become powerless.
If you over value possessions,
People begin to steal.


Today I would like to interpret the lower part of the Tao Te Ching 3 (First Paragraph). “If you over value possessions, people begin to steal” this statement is true and very noticeable in our community or in the present time. When possessions are not valuable or you don’t show great value to it, people will not notice it and will not attempt to get it from you, because they can see that the things you possess don’t have that great value and therefore it is useless for them. But if you over value your possessions, people will begin to steal it from you. People will notice that you show great value to it, and when you show great value to a thing, it means that it is so important and valuable; therefore the people will think of it as really expensive and begin to steal it from you.
