Therefore, the sage can only strengthen the country but does not follow the rules; he can only benefit the people but does not follow the rules.
2. Those who do not live in seclusion, their thoughts are not far away; those who are not in danger, their ambitions are not broad. Interpretation: People who are not in poverty will not think very far; people who are not in danger themselves will not have too big ambitions.
3. The common man is not guilty. It is a crime to have a jade. The people are so lucky. The country's misfortune. I have children. The son gave birth to teach him. I have fields. The son breeds it. Died in childbirth. Who will inherit it?
