Zen Thai Poets Aren't Safe or Sorry

Text 5 notes Zen Thai Poets Aren’t Safe or Sorry

Zen บทกวี 176

คนผู้ซึ่งคิดมันเป็นการปลอดภัยจะดีกว่าความเสียใจจะจบลงด้วยความเสียใจ

Khon phôo sêung khít man bpen gahn-bplàwt-phai jà dee-gwàh khwahm-sĭa-jai jà jòp-long dûay khwahm-sĭa-jai.

Person which think it be safe will better sorry will end also sorry.

Those who think it’s better to be safe than sorry are sorry in the end.
