The world itself is not unfair, nor can it be fair.

In fact, this is something that cannot be done. First of all, no one is willing to maintain this fairness. Secondly, even if someone is willing, no one has the ability. Thirdly, even if someone is willing and has the ability, he does not have the time to name everyone in the world one by one.

So there is the term "encounter". Because of doing the same thing, some people rise to great heights, while others struggle in pain, which makes people sigh but have no choice but to attribute it to fate.

Some people cannot bear to see this unfairness. The word "open-minded" is easy to write but difficult to write. Therefore Zhuangzi said: Those who steal hooks will be punished, and those who steal the country will be martyred. Mozi wrote "Fei Gong Shang". And Liu Ji has "Words from Those Who Sell Mandarin Oranges".

Attachment:

"Zhuangzi: The Silk Bag": Those who steal hooks will be put to death, but those who steal political power become princes.

Not attacking "Mozi"

Now there is a man who enters other people's orchards and steals peaches and plums. When everyone hears about it, they condemn him, and when those in power catch him, they punish him. Why? Because he benefits himself at the expense of others. As for stealing someone's chickens, dogs, pigs and piglets, it is even more unjust than entering someone's orchard and stealing peaches and plums. What is the reason for this? Because he hurts people more. If he harms more people, he will be more unkind and the sin will be more serious. As for entering someone's stable and taking away their horses and cows, this is even more unjust than stealing someone's chickens, dogs, pigs and piglets. What is the reason for this? Because he hurts people more. If he harms more people, he will be more unkind and the sin will be more serious. As for killing innocent people, stripping off their clothes, and taking away their weapons and swords, this is even more unjust than entering someone's stable and taking away their horses and cattle. What is the reason for this? Because he hurts others more seriously. The more serious the harm is, the more unkind and the greater the sin. Nowadays, all the gentlemen in the world know these things and say they are unjust. The most unjust thing today is to attack other countries and not know how to condemn them. Instead, they praise them and say they are righteous. Can this mean that we know the difference between righteousness and unrighteousness?

Killing a person and calling it unjust must constitute a capital crime. If we follow this analogy, killing ten people is ten times unjust and must constitute ten capital crimes; killing one hundred people is one hundred times unjust and must constitute one hundred capital crimes. The most unjust thing today is to attack other countries, but do not know how to oppose them. Instead, they praise them and say they are righteous. This is because he did not know that attacking other countries was unjust, so he recorded his words of praise and passed them on to future generations. If we know that it is unjust, then what reason is there to record unjust things and pass them on to future generations?

Now there is someone here who sees a bit of black and calls it black, and sees a total of black and calls it white. Then he must think that this person does not know the difference between black and white. If someone tastes a little bitterness and calls it bitter, but tastes a lot of bitterness and calls it sweet, then one must think that this person does not know the difference between bitterness and sweetness. Today, when you do small bad things, you know and condemn them; when you do big bad things and attack other countries, you don't know how to condemn them, but praise them and say they are righteous. Can this be said to know how to distinguish between righteousness and unrighteousness? From this we can see how confused the gentlemen in the world are in distinguishing between righteousness and unrighteousness.

Words from an orange seller

There is a fruit seller in Hangzhou who is good at storing oranges. They do not rot after winter and summer. When they are taken out, they are still bright and bright, like jade. Texture, golden color. Put it on the market and sell it for ten times the price. People rushed to buy his oranges.

I bought one of them and cut it open. It felt like a puff of smoke hit my nose and mouth. Looking inside, it was as dry as tattered cotton wool. I felt strange about this and asked him: "Are the tangerines you sell to others going to be filled in containers for sacrifices, to offer to gods, or to entertain guests? Or are you going to show off its appearance to confuse people?" Are you a fool and a blind person? You are going too far to do this kind of deception."

The man selling citrus said with a smile: "I have been in this industry for many years. Use it to support yourself. I sell it and others buy it. No one has said anything, but it can't meet your requirements? There are many people in the world who do deception. Am I the only one who doesn't do well? Think about it.

Now those people wearing tiger-shaped military symbols and sitting on tiger skins look like they are generals defending the country. Can they really give the strategies of Sun Wu and Wu Qi? Those people wearing high hats and dragging long belts look like capable people in the court. Can they really achieve the achievements of Yi Yin and Gao Tao? Rescue, officials are cunning but do not know how to prohibit, laws are corrupt but do not know how to govern, and the country's food is wasted but do not know how to be ashamed. Look at those people sitting in the high hall, riding big horses, drinking wine and eating delicious food. Not tall, awe-inspiring, outstanding, worthy of imitation? But no matter where you go, who is not as golden as jade on the outside, but as broken as a rag on the inside? Now you can't see these phenomena, but you only see them? To my oranges!"

I was silent and had no words to answer. When I came back and thought about the words of the tangerine seller, I felt that he seemed like a witty, sarcastic, and eloquent person like Dongfang Shuo. Is he someone who is angry and hates the evil phenomena in the world? Is the use of tangerines used for satire?

After reviewing the articles of the three sages, you should have a more objective and correct understanding of fairness.
