Sima Niu didn't understand what this meant and asked, "Are you a gentleman if you are not sad or afraid?" Confucius said: "A gentleman often introspects; So there is no guilt in my heart. What can I be sad and afraid of? " After Sima Niu left Confucius, he met his brother Xia Zi. He was very sad and said, "Everyone has a brother. How happy I am, but I am not. " Xia Zi comforted him and said, "I have heard that' a person's life and death should be arranged by fate, while wealth is arranged by heaven. A gentleman is careful and makes no mistakes; The attitude towards people is respectful and polite. Then there are brothers everywhere in the world, so why should a gentleman worry about not having brothers? "
