"Be cautious about being alone" comes from "The Book of Rites: The Doctrine of the Mean": "A gentleman is cautious about what he does not see, and is afraid of what he does not hear. Do not see what is hidden, do not reveal what is insignificant, so a gentleman is careful about what he does not see. "Alone."

In life, a person's cultivation can best be seen from some small things. And "being cautious in independence" can better demonstrate a person's noble quality.

In other words, nobility is the most hidden thing and the place that best reflects a person's quality. And the smallest things can best reveal a person's soul. A moral person will not do anything immoral when he is alone.

Most people can consciously restrain their words and deeds in public and abide by moral norms. When you are alone, you will relax your self-restraint and even do some things that go against common sense. For example, when you pick up a wallet, there is still a lot of money in it. If there is no third party present, will you take the initiative to wait for the owner there, or find a way to contact the owner?

There must be some people who will have crooked ideas in an instant and want to take it for themselves. And only those who are truly "cautious about independence" will be undistracted and unmoved by this unexpected fortune.

Sometimes, just one thought can change your life. Maybe, when you keep this wallet, your destiny is changing. If it is a trap designed by someone with ulterior motives, then you have just fallen into the trap, and it will bring you unpredictable risks.

It can be seen how important "being cautious in independence" is to a person. "Be cautious about being alone" means being cautious about being alone - being able to strictly demand yourself when no one else is present or supervising you, and not do anything that violates your conscience, is inconsistent with appearance, or has no quality. In other words, never relax your requirements on yourself at any time.

To put it more deeply, being cautious is a kind of gentleman’s personality, a highly self-disciplined life, a bright and open mind, a kind of nobility of soul, and a kind of nobility of human nature.
