When mice run, cats give chase.

When mice run, cats give chase.

Summary

This quote metaphorically suggests that when someone is visibly anxious or afraid (represented by the mice running), others may take advantage or prey upon their vulnerability (represented by the cats giving chase). It implies that those who display fear or weakness are more susceptible to being taken advantage of by those who are more predatory or dominant. It serves as a reminder to be cautious and not display vulnerabilities to avoid becoming an easy target for others.

Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old.
