If the world loves each other and the lover loves himself, will there be unfilial people? If you treat your father and brother as your own body, is it unfilial to do evil? Are there any unkind people? Is it inhuman to treat your disciples and ministers as yourself? Therefore, there is no filial piety and no compassion. Are there any thieves? So, if a person's room is his room, who will steal it? Treat others as yourself. Who is the thief? So, the thief died.

If everyone in the world loves each other and loves others as themselves, can there be unfilial? How can you be unfilial when you treat your father and brother as yourself? Will there be anything unkind? How can you treat your brothers, sons and lieutenants like yourself and do unkind things? So there is no filial piety and kindness. Is there a thief? Treat other people's homes like their own. Who would steal it? Who will harm others if they regard others as themselves? So the thief disappeared.

Mozi's "universal love" is universal and equal love and mutual assistance. The original meaning of the word "he" is to hold two crops in one hand, and it is extended to the meaning of wholeness and indifference. Mohist school calls "universal love" universal love and love week, and advocates extending "love" to the whole extension of human beings. It believes that the number of people does not hinder universal love, and the position of people does not hinder universal love. Love for people with a large population is the same as love for people with a small population, and love for all mankind is inseparable, including love for slaves and love for themselves.
