Mencius: If the position is very low, but always talk about state affairs, it is a sin!

---------------------------------

Mencius said: "Shi is not poor, but sometimes poor; marrying a wife is not to support, but sometimes to support." For the poor, resign from the humble, resign from the rich and live in the poor. Is it appropriate to resign from the humble, to resign from the rich to the poor, and to be evil? Hold the gate and strike the garnet. Confucius tasted as a commissioner, and said, 'Accounting should be enough'. Taste for the field, known as 'cattle and sheep thrive, long and long'. The lowly are high, and the sins are also; the foundation of man is established, and the tao is not good, and the shame is also"

Mencius said, "I didn't come out as an official because I was poor, but sometimes I was because I was poor." Wives are not married to support their parents, but sometimes they are also to support them. If it is because of poverty, then it is necessary to resign from the noble and humble position. How is it appropriate to resign from the noble and live in the lowly, and to resign from the rich and live in the poor? That's goalkeeping. Confucius, who was once a petty officer in charge of a warehouse, said, 'Just settle the accounts.' He was also a petty officer in charge of animal husbandry, and he said, 'Cattle and sheep can thrive.' It is a sin to talk about state affairs when one is in a very low position. It is a shame to be an official in the imperial court and not be able to promote morality. ”
