Did I ever tell you that the first time I heard this proverb was from my Hongky Boss when i was waitressing in a restaurant near my home in Clayton, Melbourne? He was one shrewd person, but I learnt a lot from him.
Well put. GREED is what drives the world, sad, but true. If only people pay a little bit more attention to their internal well being rather than external well being, this world will be a better place, afterall, you can't bring your external well being with you when you're gone, but the internal well being will remain in your soul when you face your maker.
If I remember correctly, I read about this black and white cat proverb in my standard 4 or 5 Chinese class. Of course, one of the first Chinese thing I learnt was "Lai phai chui, ti ti phai chui, mei mei phai chui, ta cia phai chui" or something like that....
