Boyi and Shu Qiyi refused to eat Zhou Su and starved to death in shouyangshan. Sima Qian sighed: "Different ways, no common goal. It's true that everyone follows everyone's ambition! " (Historical Records Biography of Bo Yi Chang Qi Lie)

This is a typical example of different political attitudes.

Sima Qian added: "People who study Lao Tzu in the world despise Confucianism, and those who study Confucianism are not ashamed of Lao Tzu. Those whose courses are different cannot lay plans for one another. Is this the case? " (Biography of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi's Shen Han)

This is a typical case of different ideas and academic opinions.

Jia Yi's "Pengniao Fu" is well written:

"The greedy husband is greedy for money, and the martyr is jealous of fame;

"The boaster has the right to die, and the masses live on it."

Confucius himself once said, "You can ask for wealth, even though you are a whipping man, I do it for you. If you can't ask for it, do what I want. " (Shu Er)

"Do what I want" means different ways, no common goal.

Karl Marx quoted the poet Dante's famous saying, "Go your own way and let people talk!"
