Mohism -> Mozi -> Book 13 -> Lu's Question -> 10

墨子The Lord of Lu consulted Mozi, saying:
"Now I have two sons.
One likes learning
and the other likes dividing property for people.
?” Which one should be crowned Prince?"
墨子 Mozi said:
We can't tell (just from this).
It may be that they behave so just for the praise and reward of it.
The fisherman's bait
is not intended to feed the fish.
Trapping a mouse with worms
is not for the love of the mouse.
。” I wish your Lordship would observe both their intention and consequences.
