Mencius said: "He who is not able to learn what man does not learn is also able to do so, and he who knows what he does not care about knows his conscience." The child of a child knows that he loves his relatives, and his elders, and he knows that he respects his brothers. Dear, benevolent; respectful, righteous; without him, reach the world also. ”
Translations
Mencius said, "What one can know without learning is good; what one knows without thinking is conscience." There is no two- or three-year-old child who does not know his beloved parents, and when he grows up, there is no one who does not know how to respect his brother. Loving one's parents is benevolence, and respecting one's brother is righteousness; being a human being has nothing but to promote benevolence and righteousness to the world. ”

This chapter is an important part of Mencius's theory of sexual goodness. Mencius believed that people are born with "conscience" and "good ability" that do not have to study and think, which is embodied in "kissing relatives" and "respecting elders". "Conscience" and "good energy" are still just the germ and beginning of goodness, and they need to be further expanded to the world.
