Passage Seventy One
子曰：「富與貴是人之所欲也，不以其道得之，不處也；貧與賤是人之所惡也，不以其道得之，
不去也。君子去仁，惡乎成名？君子無終食之間違仁，造次必於是，顛沛必於是。」

Confucius said: Been rich, powerful and famous is something everybody desire, but if you gain it via an
unjust method, no true gentlemen would accept it. Everybody hate been a poor nobody, but no true
gentleman would try to get out of that status, using methods that are unjust. A gentleman is not a real
gentleman if he is not humane. So, a true gentleman would not conduct action that is anti-humane,
even if it is just to get a meal or in the face of an emergency.

Passage Eighty Three
子曰：「見賢思齊焉，見不賢而內自省也。」
English Translation
Confucius said: When coming across a man of virtual, we must learn from him. When we come across a
man of no virtual, you must do revision upon yourself, to see whether you have the same flaw.
Note: When the Taliban go around persecuting people because they felt it is a sin in their religion, it is
inappropriate, because forcing others to obey their interpretation of their religion and punishing people
for disobeying it, is a violation of human right. We even frown upon some Middle Eastern nation, for
practicing Sharia law. But when we go around condemning people, under the name "it is a sin" and want
the law to reinforce the law of Christianity or Catholicism, are we doing any different? Prior to 1980s,
Ireland had the Catholic Church Home for Unwed Mother, which is really a privately run prison, where
the Catholic church has the authority to throw unwed mothers into this prison and confiscate their
custody of their baby. Because according to Catholicism been an unwed mother is a sin. Isn't that
practicing a Christian version of the religious law? Minus using the suicide bombers, is that any different
from the Taliban? (The article is glad to inform the readers that to the best of the article’s knowledge,
the Catholic Church Home for Unwed Mothers, have been shut down and the Irish government had
apologized for it.)
