To obey the will of Heaven
is to be universal
and to oppose the will of Heaven
is to be partial (in love).
According to the doctrine of universality
righteousness is the standard;
in the doctrine of partiality force is the basis of government.
What is it like to have righteousness as the basis of government?
The great will not attack the small,
the strong will not plunder the weak,
the many will not oppress the few,
the clever will not deceive the ignorant,
the honoured will not disdain the humble,
the rich will not mock the poor,
and the young will not rob the old.
天下And the states in the empire will not ruin each other with water, fire, poison, and weapons.
Such a regime will be beneficial to Heaven above,
to the spirits in the middle sphere,
to the people below.
Being beneficial to these three it is beneficial to all.
This is called the virtue of Heaven;
whoever practises this
is a sage,
magnanimous, gracious, and righteous,
loyal, affectionate, and filial,
天下 and all such good names in the world will be gathered and attributed to him.
Why so?
Because such conduct is in accordance with the will of Heaven.
Now, what is it like to have force as the basis of government?
The great will attack the small,
the strong will plunder the weak,
the many will oppress the few,
the clever will impose upon the ignorant,
the honoured will disdain the humble,
the rich will mock the poor,
and the young will rob the old.
天下And the states in the empire will ruin each other with water, fire, poison, and weapons.
Such a regime will not be helpful to Heaven above,
to the spirits in the middle sphere,
or to the people below.
Not being helpful to these three, it is not helpful to any.
This is called the enemy of Heaven.
He who practises this
is a bad man,
not magnanimous, not gracious, and unrighteous,
disloyal, unaffectionate, and unfilial,
天下 and all such evil names in the world are gathered and attributed to him.
Why so?
Because such conduct is in opposition to the will of Heaven.
