What does it mean that those who love see love and those who are evil see evil?
It means that those who love and respect others are bound to be loved and respected, and those who hate and hate others are bound to be rejected and hated.

Mozi by Mo Zhai during the Warring States Period.

Original text:

In other words, the lover sees love and the evil sees evil. People who don't know the world, so they all smell both. Why not?

Translation:

Those who love and respect others are bound to be loved and respected, while those who don't like and hate others are bound to be rejected and hated. I don't know people in this world. I criticize universal love as soon as I hear it. What is the reason?

Extended data

Universal love means loving different people or things at the same time. The theory of universal love was first seen in Mozi.

Mozi was regarded as the ancestor of chivalrous people by later generations. He advocates the theory of "mutual love and mutual benefit", that is, treat others as themselves, treat others as themselves, and love each other regardless of rank, status or family region.

There are three articles in Mozi, which explain their views.

Mozi is divided into two parts: one part records Mozi's words and deeds, expounds Mozi's thoughts, and mainly reflects the early Mohist thoughts;

On the other hand, Shang Jing, Xia Jing, Jing Shuo Shang, Jing Shuo Xia, Daqu and Xiaoqu, generally called Mo Bian or Mo Jing, embody Mohist epistemology and logical thought, and also contain many natural science contents, reflecting Mohist thought in the later period.

In the history of logic, it is called late Mohist logic or Mohist logic (one of the three major logic systems in the ancient world, the other two are the logic system of ancient Greece and the theory of Buddhism); It also contains many natural sciences, especially astronomy, geometric optics and statics.
