兼爱中 - Universal Love II

English translation: W. P. Mei [?] Library Resources
1 兼爱中:
子墨子言曰:“仁人之所以为事者,必兴天下之利,除去天下之害,以此为事者也。”然则天下之利何也?天下之害何也?子墨子言曰:“今若国之与国之相攻,家之与家之相篡,人之与人之相贼,君臣不惠忠,父子不慈孝,兄弟不和调,此则天下之害也。”
Universal Love II:
Mozi said: The purpose of the magnanimous is to be found in procuring benefits for the world and eliminating its calamities. But what are the benefits of the world and what its calamities? Mozi said: Mutual attacks among states, mutual usurpation among houses, mutual injuries among individuals; the lack of grace and loyalty between ruler and ruled, the lack of affection and filial piety between father and son, the lack of harmony between elder and younger brothers - these are the major calamities in the world.
