Expect poison from standing water.

Summary

This quote suggests that one should be cautious and skeptical of stagnant or still situations, as they may harbor hidden dangers or negativity.

It serves as a reminder to stay alert, avoid complacency, and actively seek growth and change rather than settling for stagnant circumstances that could potentially harm one's well-being.

What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ...
