Never take counsel of your fears.

Never take counsel of your fears.
Put negatively, if you seek your own immediate gratification and ignore, neglect, or, worse, exploit others, you will not find joy. You will find a chimera. And if you persist, you will find misery. You cannot find joy that way any more than you can jump off your own shadow.
(Chimera: A fanciful mental illusion or fabrication.)
