wrong, good or evil. ( Panizo, 1964)

and figurative language along with the juxtaposition (the fact

Instruction: Read an excerpt of Book IV of the Analects of

Confucius.

Social Virtue: Superior and Inferior Man.

Sayings of the Master:
"It is social good feeling that gives charm to a neighborhood. And
where is the wisdom of those who choose an abode where it does
not abide? "Those who are without it cannot abide long, either in
straitened or in happy circumstances. Those who possess it find
contentment in it. Those who are wise go after it as men go after
gain. Only they in whom it exists can have right likings and
disliking for others.
"Where the will is set upon it, there will be no room for
malpractices.
"Riches and honor are what men desire; but if they arrive at them
by improper ways, they should not continue to hold them. Poverty
and low estate are what men dislike; but if they arrive at such a
condition by improper ways, they should not refuse it.
When the Master was gone out the other disciples asked what was
the purport of this remark. Tsang's answer was, "The principles of
our Master's teaching are these whole-heartedness and kindly
forbearance; these and nothing more."
Guide questions:
1. What do wise men desire? Should others desire the same
thing? Explain.
2. What condition do men have for them to continue
possessing riches and honor? Explain.
3. What is the purpose of the master’s teaching?
