Mountain Timber Becomes Its Own Bandit

Kou (寇) means to cut down. 'Mountain timber becomes its own bandit' refers to trees on the mountain growing into usable lumber, thus leading to their own felling. It's a metaphor for how possessing talent can bring about misfortune. Originates from 'Zhuangzi: The World of Men'.

The line between talent and no talent is inherently great wisdom. Perhaps you who see through this point are that upright and proud tree. May you hold onto your true self amidst the wind and rain.
