Catching the moon in water

The moon on the water looks close enough to lift out. Your hands break the surface and the moon goes to pieces. The verse names a goal that looks real only from a distance.

It also warns about talk. If someone has encouraged this, check who benefits from the idea and what they actually know.

If you are pouring effort into a plan, a person or a job that has given nothing back, count what you have spent and what you have received. Then put your strength where it can land.
