Fish is my favorite, and bear's paw is also my favorite. If I can't get both at the same time, I'll have to abandon the fish and choose the bear's paw. I like life, and I like morality. If these two things cannot be obtained at the same time, then I can only give up my life and choose morality. Life is what I like, but I want something more important than life, so I don't drag out an ignoble existence; I hate death, but there are things that I hate more than death, so I don't avoid some disasters. If people are not pursuing beyond life, what means can't be used to survive? If there is nothing more hateful than death, what methods can't be used to avoid disaster? The reason why they can survive in some way, some people don't need it, some people can avoid disaster in some way, and some people don't do it because what they pursue is more precious than life, and what they hate is more severe than death. Not only the wise have this nature, but everyone has it, but the wise can't lose it.

A bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, you can live if you eat it, and starve if you can't eat it. But hungry passers-by refused to accept impolite shouting for others to eat; Beggars don't want to accept it when they step on others to eat it. If a high-ranking official is generous and accepts him without knowing whether it is in line with etiquette, what good will such a generous salary do me! Do you appreciate the splendor of my family, the service of my wife and concubine, and the poor people I know well? In the past, (some people) would rather die than accept it (losing their righteousness because of interests), but now (some people) accept it for the sake of gorgeous residence; Before (some people would rather die than accept it), now (some people) accept it for the service of wives and concubines; In the past (some people would rather die than accept it), now (some people) appreciate themselves for the poor people they know but accept. Can't this practice be stopped? This practice is called sexlessness.
