[sic] Born of the naked child [1], there is no knowledge, and the mother often first intends what he wants. There is no reason for him, but it is true.
Sincerity [2] born of love, love of life of wisdom. But his sincerity is therefore all-encompassing; but his love is therefore incomparable.
Is it different from the people to be a bureaucrat and a servant to the people. If you have the heart of your people, you will not suffer from the inadequacy of their intellect.
When a baby is born, there is no knowledge, but the mother is often able to know in advance what he needs. There is no other reason, just to love the Son sincerely.
Sincerity produces maternal love, and maternal love produces wisdom. There is only sincerity, so that motherly love makes the heart of the beloved Son not unconsiderate; there is only great maternal love, so wisdom is everywhere.
Is there a difference between officials and ordinary people and this truth? If you have the heart to love and care for the people, you don't have to worry about their wisdom everywhere.
