| The wise man makes no judgements of his own. He has no rigid and plump ideas alone. Maybe no certain, opinionated feelings. He uses the heart of the people as his own inner side and heart. People's opinions and feeling are then as his own. He says: Good ones I declare good; and I [often] treat those who are good with goodness, as I approve of the good man. I also treat those who are not so good with goodness. I often approve of the [said] bad; he gets goodness. So bad ones I also declare good. That's the goodness on how goodness can be attained [by demagogy.] The honest ones I believe; and [some] liars I also believe; I am honest to those who are honest, and I am also honest to those who are not [so] honest. By such means great honesty, the faith of virtue, can be attained and the honest gets [closer to rueful] truthfulness. In dealing with the world a wise man seems like one dazed with a felt fear, and while governing his [little] empire he has no subjective viewpoint. So a wise man lives in the world in peace, and his bright mind forms a sound whole with that of his [dear] people. Then they all lend their sense perceptions - eyes and ears - and he treats them all - infants as well. But sometimes again a wise man, dealings with some world, for the world's sake dulls his wits. Where a hundred families all the time strain their eyes and ears, the wise man all-sees a people are brought into a fold of one heart. Next the wise man regards them as his own dear children. At times the wise man sees and hears no more than an infant. [thats not much.] |
