Line Commentary
There is food in the ting. My comrades are envious, but they cannot harm me. Good fortune. In a period of advanced culture, achieving something significant is of the greatest importance. Concentrate on real undertakings, and you may experience envy and disfavor, but that is not dangerous. The more you limit yourself to actual achievements, the less harm the envious inflict.
