道德經 (Dao De Jing): 「五味令人口爽」 translation From Dao De Jing (道德經), part 12:

五色令人目盲 // Five colors make a man blind
五音令人耳聾 // Five notes make a man deaf
五味令人口爽


I have a problem with translation of the third line:


  Five flavours make the mouth feel well.


It seems proper, but it doesn't make sense, and moreover, on ctext.org it is translated contrary. The third line should also be negative. Where am I wrong?
The overall meaning of the three is to suggest that the emperor shall not bathe in the wealth he possess and neglect the voice of his suffering people.

EDIT:
As mentioned in @huotuichang's comment below, this phrase does not only apply to emperors, although it might have originally been used to refer to emperors.

I'll explain each with their literal translation and connotation.

五色令人目盲
&quot;Five colors blind your eyes.&quot;

Five colors refer to the treasures and jewelries. The various colors of luxuries shine to blind the eyes.

五音令人耳聾
&quot;Five notes make one deaf.&quot;

Five notes refer to the pleasing music pieces. While one enjoys the melodies being played, he is not able to hear the crying of his people.

五味令人口爽
&quot;Five flavors make one loses taste.&quot;

Five flavors refer to the tasteful foods and drinks. 口爽 means losing one's taste. If one eats such foods daily, he will eventually lose his taste and will not be able to swallow the foods of the poor.
