孙休There was a Sun Xiu
子扁庆子who went to the door of Zi-bian Qing-zi, and said to him in a strange perturbed way,
'When I lived in my village, no one took notice of me, but all said that I did not cultivate (my fields);
in a time of trouble and attack, no one took notice of me, but all said that I had no courage.
But that I did not cultivate my fields, was really because I never met with a good year;
and that I did not do service for our ruler, was because I did not meet with the suitable opportunity to do so.
I have been sent about my business by the villagers,
and am driven away by the registrars of the district
- what is my crime? 0 Heaven!
how is it that I have met with such a fate?
Bian-zi said to him,
'Have you not heard how the perfect man deals with himself?
He forgets that he has a liver and gall.
He takes no thought of his ears and eyes.
He seems lost and aimless beyond the dust and dirt of the world,
and enjoys himself at ease in occupations untroubled by the affairs of business.
He may be described as acting and yet not relying on what he does,
’。 as being superior and yet not using his superiority to exercise any control.
But now you would make a display of your wisdom to astonish the ignorant;
you would cultivate your person to make the inferiority of others more apparent;
you seek to shine as if you were carrying the sun and moon in your hands.
That you are complete in your bodily frame,
and possess all its nine openings;
that you have not met with any calamity in the middle of your course, such as deafness, blindness, or lameness, and can still take your place as a man among other men
- in all this you are fortunate.
What leisure have you to murmur against Heaven?
Go away, Sir.
