If you plan for the world, you will starve yourself and drown yourself. One man will not be able to get married, and others will suffer. Both Dayu and Mozi were extremely frugal in dedicating themselves to life and extremely diligent in saving the people. Diligence leads to a long life, idleness leads to a premature death.

It is secluded and no one knows about it, and the disease that attracts the world does not change when the time comes. Therefore, it is rooted in the heart, sincere in words and deeds, and encouraged at all times, without blaming others for their efforts. Then relatives and friends will believe in it, and the people of the country will be at peace with it, and the ghosts and gods will follow it.
