Chinese mythology, folktales, and literature
•
The Master said:“Everyone says, ‘I am wise!’Yet when driven into nets, snares, and traps,none of them knows how to avoid them.Everyone says, ‘I am wise!’Yet even if they choose the Doctrine of the Mean,they cannot hold to it for even a month.”
What Heaven ordains is called “nature”;following one’s nature is called “the Way”;cultivating the Way is called “teaching”.
